To ; visualize the Julia set, mentally remove the highly colored ; inside stuff while retaining the outer shape, which is the Julia ; set. To see the actual Julia set, change the real(p3) parameter ; to 0. ; ; The thin open slit across the center of the image is a sideways ; view of the space between the two branches of Seahorse Valley. ; The angle of the slice is rotated 6 degrees from the Julia ; direction toward the Oblate direction. ; ; The rating of an 8 is largely earned by the coloring, which was ; created effortlessly by the Fractint program. My part was to ; tweak a few registers to make the colors blend more smoothly. ; ; The calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes is a fair price to pay for ; the image. (Most of the time is spent calculating the final two ; lines.) But it is still a bother to set up and run the ; parameter file. The web sites can eliminate any parameter-file ; set-up anxiety. ; ; For immediate relief view the finished image at: ; ; ; ; And don't forget the hi-def variations at: ; ; ; ; or the back images at: ; ; ; ; Some clouds, some sun, a little less wind and a still chilly ; temperature of 18F -8C made for another bone-chilling day here ; at Fractal Central today. The fractal cat had an exciting day, ; surviving his regular trip to the doctor. The humans had ; another in the endless string of passing days. ; ; The next FOTD will most likely be posted in 24 hours. Until ; whenever, take care, why can't we think four-dimensionally, when ; even an unconscious computer can do it. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Shade_of_Antiquity { ; time=0:03:30.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot5 passes=1 center-mag=-0.056338/0/0.91876 params=84/0/90/0/\ -0.760036618323/0/0/0/2.5/0 float=y maxiter=250000 inside=0 logmap=yes symmetry=xaxis periodicity=12 colors=000hKdhLehMfhNghOihQjhRkhTmhVnhWphYqh_rh_th\ auhavhcwhcwhcwhdwhdwhewhewhfwhfwhfwhfwhfwT22V68X9D\ ZDI_GNaKScNXdQacP`bP_bO_aOZaOY`NY`NX_NWZMWZMVYMVYL\ UXLTXLTWKSWKRVJRUJQUJQTIPTIOSIOSHNRHMRHMQGLPGLPGKO\ FJOFJNEINEHMEHLDGLDGKDFKCEJCEJCDIBCIBCHBBGABGAAF99\ F99E98E87D87D86C76B75B74A64A63962952851850851951B6\ 2C62E72F73H83I83K84L94N94OA5QA5RB5TB6UB6WC6XC7ZD7_\ E8aF8bG8dH9eI9gJ9hKAjLAkMAmNBnOBpQBqSCsUCt`CvcDwcD\ xgDqjCmmBmoBmqAmsAmq9mo1mm5ml9mkDmiGmeKmaOv_SwYRwW\ RwUQwSQzQPzPPzOPzOOzOOzPNzPNzPMzPMzQMzQLzQLzRKzRKz\ RKzSJzSJySIxSIwTHwTHwTHwUGwUGwUFwVFwVFwWEwXEwYDwZD\ w_CwaCwbCwcBwcBwcAwcAwcAwc9wc9wc9wc8wd8we8wf8wg7wh\ 7wi7wj7wk6wl6wm6wn6wo7wp7wq8wr8ws8wt9wu9wvAwwAwxAw\ yBwzBwzBwzCwzCwzDwzDwzDwzEyzEzzEzzFzzFzzGzzGzzHzzH\ zzLzzPzzUzzZzzczzhzzmzzrzzvzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } 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 ;
