Instead of loops, we ; see sharp-pointed, rather dark and ominous elements that would ; make a fitting cover for a paperback horror novel. ; ; The name "A Second Opinion" indicates that today's image is the ; second venture into the same parent fractal, and, as is the case ; with medical doctors, a second opinion sometimes brings an ; entirely different outlook. ; ; A rating of a 7 is entirely justified, at least in my opinion. ; The pattern surrounding the tiny central minibrot may be highly ; fractured, but it is regular enough to make a recognizable, ; semi-organized minibrot basin. ; ; The calculation time of 1-2/3 minutes is fast enough to leave ; time for fun or business. ; ; Time-saving joy may be found at the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the finished image is posted. ; ; Hi-def joy is online at: ; ; ; ; The FOTD back images are blissfully available at: ; ; ; ; Heavy clouds, fog and drizzle spoiled the entire morning here at ; Fractal Central. Some sun broke through in the afternoon, and ; the temperature reached 72F 22C, but by then the damage had been ; done and the fractal cats were in unhappy mode, demanding extra ; treats. The humans had another un-notable day, one that was ; peaceful to experience but boring to read about. The next FOTD ; will appear in a reasonable geologic time. Until that wondrous ; moment arrives, take care, and debate the debate. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Second_Opinion { ; time=0:01:40.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.442996736165/-0.063360789746/6e+007/\ 1/-85/0 params=1.5/0/51/0 float=y maxiter=1750 inside=0 logmap=144 periodicity=6 colors=000MF`LD_KCWF9QIAOG8LE6H00053D62IA75HB5LG5P\ K5TP4XT4bX4h_4mc3rf3wj3wm3wp3wn5wl6rj7mi8hg9ceAYcB\ VbCSwDPmENfFKdOH`cESmBQz9YzEgzJYzNNzSNmXMc`MUeLCiL\ BhKChJDgIEgHEgGFfFGfFGeEHeDIeCIdBJdAKdAKbBM`BOmCQw\ CSwDUhDWhEYhE_hFamFcZGeZGgZHiZHjIHkJIkJIlJImJImJJn\ JJoJJoJJpIKoJJpJJpJJpJJpJJpKJpKJqKJqKJqKIqKIqLIzD5\ zC5zB5zA5z95z85z75z65zOHzeTzvcftbdrabp``n_ZlZzjYzh\ XzgXzeWzcVzaUz_TzYSzWRzUQzTQzVPzXPzYPz_Pz`PzbPzdPz\ ePzgPzhPzjPzlPzmPzoPzpPzoOzoNznMznLzmKzmJzlIzlHzlG\ zkFzkEzjDzjCziBziAzi9zf9zb9zZAzVAzRBzNBzKBzLAzRUzT\ RzUOzVLzXIzYFz_Cz`9za6z_8zYAzXCzVEzTFzSHzQJzOLzNMz\ G6zE5zC4zB3zZfQhf9hfEhfIhfMffQcfUbfSafRafQ`fP_fO_f\ NbfMd_Lf`Ki`KkaJmaJpbIrbItcHwcGwzGwzFwzFwzHtzJpzLl\ zNjzQizThzVgzYfz_ezbdzdczgbzidzgfzehzcizakz_mzYnzW\ pzUrzStzQuzOwzMwzKwzIfzMczMazNZzNWzOTzOQzPOzPTzUXz\ ZazbezgjzlnzplznjzlQzbOza } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
