The rating of 7-1/2 indicates my ; lack of real enthusiasm for the image. ; ; Today's scene is another dive into yesterday's parent fractal. ; Today we check very deep into the East Valley area of a minibrot ; on the northeast edge of the parent's prominent 'fan'. ; ; These fractal fans almost always appear with the 'handle' ; pointing west and the open blade to the east. They are common ; in fractals that combine two negative powers of Z, but rarely ; appear in other fractals. ; ; Due to its extreme magnitude, the calculation time of the image ; is a slow 9 minutes, almost all of which may be saved by ; checking the web sites. ; ; So relieve all stress and calculation anxieties by viewing the ; finished image on the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Variations in hi-def are available at: ; ; ; ; And thousands of FOTD back images are available at> ; ; ; ; Rain fell all night and morning here at Fractal Central today. ; The afternoon remained cloudy with a temperature of 45F +7C. ; Nicholas, the fractal cat, gave up on the sun well before noon, ; but then laid claim to my favorite TV chair, from which he would ; not be dislodged. The humans meanwhile made it through another ; unpromising day. ; ; The next FOTD *will* be posted, that much is clear, what is in ; doubt is the exact time it will be posted. My best guess is in ; 24 hours. Until whenever, take care, and if the Catholic Church ; ever starts changing its standpoint, who knows where the changes ; will stop? Maybe the church will go so far as to admit that its ; most important articles of faith such as the existence of God, ; salvation and heaven are not quite as certain as it has always ; taught. After all, one would think that by this time science ; would have found at least a hint of something. ; ; ; Jim (A true believer still) Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= It's_Fractal_Time { ; time=0:09:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip center-mag=+1.543534421205797/+0.7283066746232452/\ 2.874541e+012/1/55/0 params=-1.4/-7.4/-7.4/-1.4/0/\ 3500/0/0 float=y maxiter=6000 inside=0 logmap=-950 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=00000800A00C00E00G01I02K13L24N25P26Q37S38U3\ 9V3AX38Z36_4DY5JX6PV7VUKYWX_YiaZlcasccvdfxghzijwfh\ ucgzafleejQchRbfTadU`bVZ`XYZYXXZWV_VXaXZcY`dZbf`ch\ aeibgkdilejnflphnqipsjqtkpslpsmosmosnnsninzhnzhmzb\ hzgmzpwzkrzjrzjrzgqzdpmaojZngWmdUlaRkZOkWLoTIiQGZN\ DgKAfH7eE4_B2d8Fa9RZ9bWAnTAzGAxa9vP9tP8sP8qP8oP7mP\ 7lP7jP6hP6gP6eOEcNLZWNUdOPmPPlNQjLQhIQfGQdEQcCYaFd\ `IkZLrYOyXQrXTkXWdXYYX`RXbKXeDXg6Xj0Xl3_j5ai7chAeg\ CgeEidGkcJnbLpaNr_QtZSvYUxXWzWXxXYwYZvZ_t_`s`araaq\ b`qdZrfYrhXrjVslUsnTspSsrUnkWjeYf__bUYmRWmNVmKUmJU\ mIUmHUmGQmCMm8Im5FmBDmHAmM8mS6mXCm_HzbMzezzhzzkzzn\ zzqzzszztzzuzzwzzxzzyzzzzzwzztzzszzrzzrzzlzzgzzbzz\ YzzTzzOzzXzzezznzzwzzuzzszzrzzpzzozzmzzlzz`zzYzzWz\ zUzzSzzQzzbzznzzczzUzzJzz9zzIzzRzzZZzQkzHxz8RzKNzK\ JzLGzLCzMBzIAzK9zM8zO7zQ6zS6zT5zV4zX3zZ2z`2za5zV8z\ PBzIEzCCz2Jz1Jz1Jz1Gz4Dz6 } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
