(As I see it, the series goes ; . . . linear, quadratic, cubic, quartic, quintic, hexic, heptic, ; octic, nonic . . . etc.) ; ; The rating of 7-1/2 seems about right while viewing the image, ; but the rating appears too high when the calculation time of a ; dragging 20 minutes is considered. Viewing the finished image ; on one of the FOTD web sites can raise the rating a point or so. ; ; The finished image is posted at: ; ; ; ; High-definition renderings are at: ; ; ; ; Back images are at: ; ; ; ; With near total sunshine and a temperature of 59F 15C, yesterday ; was infested with spring here at Fractal Central. The fractal ; cat caught the lazy bug early and stretched on his shelf in the ; southwest window most of the afternoon to take advantage of the ; sun, which at this time of the year is as strong on his shelf as ; it ever gets. Today turned out cloudy but with another quite ; mild temperature of 55F 13C. The humans had average days both ; days. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted whenever it is. Until then, take ; care, and I hear from some in the media and also from FL that ; there is a war against women. But I am uncertain just which ; group of people is supposed to be waging war against just which ; group of women. Is it all men against all women, or only right- ; wing men against left-wing feminists, or is it the entire male- ; dominated culture itself that is at war against women? I have ; always assumed there are fewer women in high-paying top ; executive offices because women have the common sense to avoid ; the life-shortening dog-eat-dog race to the top, and not because ; there is a male-created glass ceiling holding back all the ; aspiring women. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= More_Heptic_Stuff { ; time=0:20:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MultiExp function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-18.7620116655262/+0.3566079766580704/\ 1.511423e+009/1/-100/0 params=7/15 float=y maxiter=9000 inside=0 logmap=-1600 periodicity=6 colors=000KYDKYDLYDNXCOXCPXBQWBRWASWAUXDWXFXXIZYK_\ YNaYPcYSdZUfZXgZZiZak_cl_fn_ho_j`hiNpi9xiFseLobRj_\ WfXaaUgYRlUOiQLgMIeIFcFCaB9_76Y43Q7II9XABk3Dz4Ew4F\ t4Fr4Go4Hl4Hj9FdED_IBVN9QR7LW5G_3Bd16h01fA4eJ7dS9b\ `CaiF`rH_nLZkPYhTXeWWb_V_cUWgTTjSQnRNrQKvQHyOLxMOw\ KRvJUuHXtF`sDcrCfqAip8lo7oo8kn9hnAenBbnC_mDXmDTmEQ\ mFNlGKlHHlIElIBlLAiN9fQ9cS8`U7YX7VA6A`5Pc5Me4Jg4Gr\ jKngJjeIfcHb`GZZFVXERVECdAEcCGbDIbEKaFM`GO`IQ_JR_K\ TZLVYMXYOZXP`WQbWRdVSeVTp_NzdIwgHtiGqlFnnEkqDhsCev\ BbxA_zAVzARzDMzGKzKIzJHzIFtHEtGDuGRc8TXBVRDXKGZDI`\ 6Lb0NZ4PV7RRATNDVJHXFKZBN`8QaI`bSjcPc`McZJcXGcUDcS\ AcQ7cN4cL1cJ0cO0cT0cY0ca0cf0ck0co5mm9mkDmjHmhLmfPm\ eTmcYmaam`emZimXmmWqmUumSymRnmScmTUmUJmV9mWAmYAmZA\ m`AmaAmcAmdAmfAmgBmhBmjBmkBmmBznBzpBzqBzrLzjVzbdzV\ mzNjzPhzRezTczVazXZzZXz_VzaSzcQzeOzgLziJzkHzlIzkJz\ kKzkLzkMzkNzkOzkPzkQzkRzk } frm:MultiExp { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b)+c |z| < 100000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
