But even when we ; are all gone, fractals will continue forever, so who am I to ; give up on fractals when they will never give up on me. ; ; Today's image is a view of the mysterious Z^(2.003) rectangle as ; it appears when rotated 4 degrees from the Julia direction ; toward the oblate direction. At this angle the original ; rectangle appears more like a fan partly filled with debris, but ; in this debris a new shorter and wider rectangle has appeared. ; ; The features surrounding the rectangle have been altered to the ; point of unrecognizability, though a few patches of the pure ; Julia features still remain. And even though today's change is ; great, you ain't seen nothing yet! ; ; The name "Seven to Doomsday" simply tells the time remaining for ; each of us to exist. The calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes cuts ; into this brief time, but let's eat, drink and be merry today, ; for in seven days we . . .? ; ; Time is growing short. Before the final end arrives, check the ; finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; And enjoy the variations in high definition at: ; ; ; ; The back images are available at: ; ; ; ; Lots of sun and a temperature of 46F +8C made today quite ; pleasant here at Fractal Central. While the cats watched the ; world go by, the humans kept busy preparing for the upcoming ; holidays, which will be in the past in 19 days -- that is unless ; the day of doom arrives in only seven days, in which case the ; holidays will never end. ; ; The next FOTD is due to be posted in 24 hours, so check for it ; then. Until next time, take care, and there has been another ; mass shooting. Ho hum! Such mass shootings are becoming all ; the rage among the trendy set. It looks like everyone wants a ; slice of the action! ; ; But murder is wrong! Something must be done! So why don't we ; ban all private possession of firearms? Then when a lunatic ; shoots up a school and kills some kids, we'll be able to charge ; him with possession of an illegal and probably stolen firearm. ; With such a serious charge hanging over his head and possible ; imprisonment facing him, even the most determined lunatic would ; think twice before killing innocent people. ; ; My opinion -- to ban all firearms would be futile. ; ; My solution -- to change the materialistic, technologically ; advanced but spiritually bankrupt world view of our modern ; culture, which makes our existence appear meaningless and ; totally hopeless. (And I don't mean we should go out and try to ; persuade people to believe in any particular religion.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Seven_to_Doomsady { ; time=0:02:30.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot4 passes=1 float=y center-mag=+0.004422/0/118/0.6326/0/14.19452852516 params=86/86/90/86/-1.7435/0/0.000175/0.073883/2.0\ 03/0 maxiter=2750 inside=0 logmap=58 periodicity=6 colors=0009RA8PA7NA6M95L84K73K5BK4KU3Vd2eo1mwCitBe\ oAaj9Ye8Ua7QX6NS5JN4FJ3BE2791340a4D_3CY3BW3BV3AT3A\ R29P28O28M27K27J26H15F15D14C14A13802602501301000cw\ KUtKMqKIlKGiJFgIEeHDcGDaFC_EBYEBWDAUC9SB9QA8O97M96\ K86I75G64E54C43A4283262141020bLX`KVZJUXISWHRUGPSFO\ REMPDLNCKMBIKAHIAFG9EF8CD7BB6AA588476355243121U1Bu\ qAqn9nk9kh8he8eb7b_6_Y6XV5US5RP4OM4LJ3IH2FE2ZB1Z81\ Z50Z2sWeePVSILEZA5lk4gf4ba3YX3TS2OO2JJ1EE1Z90Z4vCx\ pAqj9kd8eZ7_TBUNZOHZIBZC5Z6XyuTrnPkhMdaIbWEWPBZJ7Z\ C3Z6BMdAKa9JZ8IW7HT7FQ6ZN5ZK4ZH3ZE3ZB2Z81Z50Z2AZT5\ ZEDzjBtc9kX7bQ5VK3MD1Z6BzKAxI9tH8pGb_`fbUjdMnfFrh8\ kfAedCZbDT`FNZHGXIAVK4UL6WN7YP8_QAaSBcTCeVEgXFiYGk\ _Hl`JkZLkXNkWPkUQkTSkRUkQWkOXkNZhL`hKbhIdhGehFghDi\ hCkhAlm9nm7pm6rm4sm3tm8tmCumGzzKzzOzzTzzXzz`zzdzzh\ zzfzzezzdzzbzzazz`zzZzzYzzXzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } frm:SliceJulibrot4 {; draws all slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), esc=imag(p5)+9 c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=z^(real(p5))+c |z|< esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
