This parent fractal resembles the parents of the past ; several days' images, and the image is located in the same tiny ; east-central bud. But, unlike the situation with straight ; Z^(n)+C fractals, in today's situation the fractal interest ; seems to increase as the exponent is raised. ; ; I named the image "Double-Take" because it is filled with twin ; pairs of Z^(4.5) minibrots. The rating of an 8 shows that I ; consider the image to be a rather good one, at least as far as ; the underlying forms go. I might have raised the worth to 8-1/2 ; or so if the brilliant green color palette had not been almost ; totally created with a stroke of the key. ; ; The calculation time of 30 seconds, like the times of all the ; recent images, is a rounded approximation. On some machines the ; parameter file will run faster; on others it will run notably ; slower. Luckily, the finished image is available on the FOTD ; web sites, where all uncertainty is eliminated. ; ; The image is posted, already calculated, on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A high-definition rendering is online at: ; ; ; ; Thousands of FOTD back images and discussions are available at: ; ; ; ; Clouds were the thing of the day here at Fractal Central today, ; with only a few peeks of sun. Rain showers simply added to the ; confusion. The temperature of 70F 21C was pleasant enough . . . ; as long as the changeable weather was observed from indoors, ; that is. ; ; The fractal cats observed the conditions from their southwest ; window, complaining every so often about the lack of sun. The ; humans had another in a long string of everyday week-days. The ; next FOTD *will* be posted. That's all I can say right now ; about exactly when. ; ; Until whenever, take care, and I see that the dangers of cell- ; phone radiation are back in the news (on CNN at lunch time ; today). To read my comments about the dangers, check the FOTD ; discussions of about 10 years ago. BTW, it's now safe for the ; phone companies to let the risk of too much cell-phone use be ; widely known. Almost everyone under the age of 30 is now ; totally addicted to various wireless devices, which have become ; just another necessary part of modern day life, and regardless ; of the risk, they would never give them up. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Double-Take { ; time=0:00:30.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+0.4968959677020675/+0.0000000286553292\ /4.433267e+008/1/39/0 params=4.5/-4.5/0/0 float=y maxiter=1600 inside=0 logmap=49 periodicity=6 colors=0002596BC9GFCMIFRLDEDC26PD7`N8mY9ygAiX7VM50\ EIFB2jdPZUINKCBA69TF4E748o36b24Q12DiYpYPbNHQB8DeRc\ dOccLcdOYdQTdTOdVJdXEfZFh`FibFkdGlfGnhGojGqlHsnHtp\ HvrIwtIyvIzxIvtJrqJnnJjkKfhKceK_aLWZLSWLOTMKQMHNMQ\ INYDOf9On4Pv0Pu3St5Us7Wr9YrB_qDapFcoHeoJglHajFWhDR\ eBLc9Ga7A_65b59d4Dg4Hi3Ll2Pn2Tq1Xs0`u0dr3go6jl8miB\ ofDrcGu`IwaMvaPvaSubWubZtbatceschsckrdordrqduqbvm`\ vjZvfXvcVv_TvXRvTPvQNvMLvJJvFHvCGv9IpEKkIMcMOcRQcV\ ScZUcbWcgYck_co`csacracqacpacoacnacmbclbckbcjbcibc\ hbcgbcfZcbWcZTcVPcRMcNJcJGcFCcB9c76c33m08m6DmBImGN\ mLSmQXmVam_emdbmZ_mUXmPUmKRmFPmARmETzHVzLXzOYzR_zV\ azYczadzdfzghzkjznkzqhzrezsczt`zuZzvWzwUzwPzmKzcFz\ UBzLBzWBzeBzoDzkEzgGzcHz_JzXKzTMzPNzLOzIDzOIzIMzCR\ z6Vz0pzmlzjhzgjz`lzVnzOpzIozXozklznjzpgzsezuczvbzv\ azv_zkZz`YzQXzGVzKTzNRzQPzTYzRfzQozPjzSezV`zYWz_Vz\ kUzw_zdezNkz5gz8czARz9Ez9 } frm:FinDivBrot-2 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1): z=(b)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c |z| < esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
