Today's image is a scene in the ; parent fractal that results when the expression Z^(2.5)+C is ; iterated 5.2 levels up the hyperladder with no function applied. ; ; This unimpressive parent resembles a Mandelbrot set rotated so ; that the area normally on the west faces northwest, with a large ; jagged bay where its East Valley should be and a main bud that ; has two equally large sub-buds. Filaments extend from each of ; these sub-buds, with large minibrots on these filaments. ; ; Today's scene lies in the large minibrot on the filament ; extending from the north sub-bud. This minibrot has two 'main' ; buds, with a rudimentary bay between them. This bay is the home ; of today's image. ; ; I rated the image at a 7-1/2. If I had had more time, I might ; have improved the colors enough to raise the rating to an 8. As ; it is, the image is not all that bad to look at, and well worth ; the 1-3/4 minutes required to calculate it. ; ; The name "Two and One Half" refers to the exponent of Z. ; ; The finished image is posted on the official (whatever that ; means) FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; enriched versions of the image and related images are online at: ; ; ; ; The FOTD back images are available at: ; ; ; ; Today was cloudy with a temperature of 43F +6C. The fractal cat ; is doing fine. His new companion is due on November 14. The ; humans are still in the clean-up process. ; ; I have much to say about the big N.E. storm and the things I am ; hearing about it, but these things are mostly political, with ; lack of knowledge abounding, and this is a fractal list. I'll ; soon voice my opinion on the official FOTD web site, where I ; will be starting a blog where anything goes. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted when I get a 'round tuit'. Until ; whenever, take care, and instead of continuing to blather about ; the Arctic ice, let's talk about what's happening to the much ; more plentiful ice in the Antarctic. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Two_and_One_Half { ; time=0:01:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident center-mag=-1.313645604957682/+0.6344385534013239/\ 5.515427e+010/1/-97.5/0 params=2.5/0/5.2/0 float=y maxiter=2250 inside=0 logmap=248 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=00006c07c08c09c0Ac0Cb0Ea0G`0I_0KZ0MY1OX2QX3\ SX4UX4XX9Z_E`aJbdOdfTfiYhkbjnflpgimgfkhcih`fiYdiVb\ jS_jPYkMWkJTlGRlEPiFRgGSeHUcIVaJX_KYYL_WL`VJaUIbTG\ bTFcSDcRCdRAdQ9eP7eP6fO4fN3gN2gS7mXCrUGoSKlQOiOSgL\ WdJ_aHcZFgXCkUAoR8sO6wMAqNDkOGfPK`QNWQQQRULSXFT_AT\ XBRVBQTBORBNOBMMBKKCJICHFCGzzzzzczzCzmBzcFzUJzKMrF\ QpAUkAXc8TW6NO4HG2C71094AB6HD9OEBQGDSIGVJIXLL_NNaO\ PcQSfSUhTWjY_NUWPRSQ`DYd4aZDXULTPTPJaKEiG9qCIZ5CYJ\ 7YW2Yh8bVDfHLXPTNW_EbdqVdlZdhadddd_gdWjdSmdOpXWiQc\ bJkWCsP5zJLsN`lQpfTjeWdeYZe`TebNedHegBei6ekpR7T4lL\ LfDa`6qV9kYCf`EabHXeJSgNXhQciUkjKdcmskzzlVZmSQnQHo\ RJkSKgTLcUN_VOWWPSWQPZfMavJNWOjKWQpjU6QPFPOXWLOPHX\ O8`QLIvHUdvPKfVMS`NtNqZIMOUN28_2d48eEucVfdSSeQHzAG\ zEFzHEzL9z_BzWCzSmz0BzpCzfDzXzzOzzOzzOzzIzzKzzLzzN\ zzGzzJzzMzzizzczzZzzTzzmzz`zzhzzbzzYzzTzzMzzNzzOzz\ ozzezzXzzlzz_zzkzz_zzdzzZ } 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|
