The name has only a ; little to do with the actual image, which appears as a pentagon ; with rudimentary staghorns (velvet antlers) jutting from its ; edges. But these baby antlers reminded me of an old Canadian ; funny-animals show starring a character named 'Buck Staghorn', ; who was always stuck in his camper out in some wilderness, ; observing the antics of the local wild animals and sending ; messages back to Beatrice at Staghorn Central. And yes, ; Staghorn Central was the inspiration for Fractal Central, which ; is equally as real. ; ; And as for today's image, it is only half real also, as are all ; fractals. For a (minor) change, I have switched from the ; expression Z^(-4.01) to (-Z)^(-5.01). Iterating negative Z ; instead of positive Z rotates the fractal so that one of the ; sharp points of the Mandeloid falls on the real positive X-axis ; rather than in complex territory, where, with two coordinates to ; adjust, searching for Julia sets is far more troublesome. The ; SliceJulibrot5 formula might be a new one for the list. I'm not ; sure. ; ; The image itself rates a 7, at least IMO. A bit more detail ; might have raised the rating to an 8, and I'm certain that ; better Julia images do exist in this area, but laziness has once ; again won out, and I made no effort to improve on the scene. ; (Tomorrow is another day however.) ; ; The calculation time of a mere 10 seconds is no typo. The image ; really does finish almost before it starts. And in addition, ; the web sites are available to remove even the chore of running ; the parameter file. ; ; The finished image is posted online at: ; ; ; ; with augmented variations at: ; ; ; ; Thousands of back images may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Clouds were plentiful here at Fractal Central today, but the ; lack of wind and temperature of 41F +5C kept things relatively ; pleasant for January. With the temperature so far above ; freezing, the forecast of light snow this evening will probably ; prove to be a bust however. The fractal cat passed most of the ; day stretched by the heat, except when he used up excess energy ; playing with his cat cubes. The humans, (at least we were human ; the last time we checked), passed the day doing as little as ; possible. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted before long. Until then, take ; care, and what are fractals but a temporary break from pondering ; the deeper problems of life? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Stuck_Baghorn { ; time=0:00:10.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot5 center-mag=0.0670723/\ 0.206427/0.2693157/1/18/0 params=90/0/90/0/\ 1.528410596/0/0/0/-5.01/3550 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 periodicity=0 periodicity=0 colors=000FKYzA8GC8GE8GG8Ec8CG8Ac88z88hzmGC8Gz8GG8\ EG8CG8AGBBGCBGDBGFBGGBGGBFGBDGBCGBBGCBGDBGFBGGBFGB\ 000CABBzBBzzBGDBcFBGGBFGBczcccUKUF00zz000000000000\ 000000e0e00eeUAKe0eeL0eeeLLLLLzLzLLzzzLLzLz000zzz0\ 00555888BcBEEEHHHKKKOOOhccWWW___ccchhhmmmssszzz00z\ G0zV0zj0zz0zz0jz0Vz0Gz00zG0zV0zj0zz0HFHVz0Gz00z00z\ G0zV0zj0zz0jz0VzmrzVVzbVzjVzrVzzVzzVrzVjzVbzVVzbVz\ jVzrVzzVrzVjzVbzVVzVVzbVzjVzrKKKVrzVjzVbzhhzlhzqhz\ uhzzhzzhuzzzzhlzhhzlhzqhzuhzzhuzhqzhlzhhzhhzlhzqhz\ uhzzhuzhqzhlz00S70SE0SL0SS0SS0LS0ES07S00S70SE0SL0S\ S0LS0ES07S00S00S70SE0SL0SS0LS0ES07SEESHESLESOESSES\ SEOSELSEHSEESHESLESOESSEOSELSEHSEESEESHESLESOESSEO\ SELSEHSKKSMKSOKSQKSSKSSKQSKOSKMSKKSMKSOKSQKSSKQSKO\ SKMSKKSKKSMKSOKSQKSSKQSKOSKMS00G40G80GC0GG0GG0CG08\ G04G00G40G80GC0GG0CG08G04G00G00G40G80GC0GG0CG08G04\ G88GA8GC8GE8GG8GG8EG8CG8A } frm:SliceJulibrot5 {; 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 ;
