My opinion is that it's too bad we ; have to be dead to enjoy our pie. But maybe it's not all that ; bad. In today's image we can have our pie while we're still ; alive. ; ; The pie in question is not the kind we eat, but the kind that ; describes the ratio of a circle to its diameter -- the kind of ; pie that is spelled pi and has a transcendental numerical value ; of 3.14159.... To add to the confusion with today's image, it ; is not straight Z that is raised to the power of pi, it is (-Z), ; and what a difference that little minus sign makes in the ; appearance of the parent Mandeloid. ; ; The parent has been turned on its side and is splitting apart ; along the parts that would normally lie on the Y-axis, resulting ; in a totally new fractal. Today's image is a Julia set of the ; point where the X-axis intersects the split-apart western ; extremity of the parent fractal. ; ; The name "Pi in the Sky Bye and Bye" refers to the exponent of ; Z, and might also be a warning to the youngsters that they had ; better be good if they want their pie. ; ; The rating of 8-1/2 includes the standard half-point bonus for ; the coloring, which might even be a little too intense. ; ; The calculation time of 2-1/3 minutes is about average, but ; viewing the image on the web sites will save a good part of that ; time. ; ; Enjoy the completed image at: ; ; ; ; and the high-definition variations at: ; ; ; ; The FOTD back images are at: ; ; ; ; Another near-perfect spring day graced Fractal Central today. ; The day began with a temperature of 36F +2C but under full ; brilliant sunshine warmed to an afternoon high of 64F +18C. The ; fractal cat fully enjoyed the strong afternoon sun on his shelf ; in the southwest window. The humans enjoyed the entire day's ; weather, thinking of the coming summer activities. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in a certain number of hours. To ; find the exact number of hours check back every so often. Until ; whenever, take care, and ambiguity can sometimes be confusing. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= PiInTheSkyByeAnBye { ; time=0:02:20.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot5 passes=1 center-mag=-0.250391/0/0.9363296/1/-90/0 params=90/0/90/0/-1.0876775/3e-008/0/0/3.141592653\ 58979/0 float=y maxiter=2500 inside=0 periodicity=0 colors=000A00G30N52XABgFKnKUsJczKqzPzzUzzZzzezqhzZ\ 0vB0c00P0060000000000000G20lG0zP0zc2zl0zZ0zK0zBcz0\ ml0mU0ch0cq0cz0cz0cz0cz0mz0mz0mz0mz0mz0rz0vz0zz0zz\ 0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz6zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0Zz00zP0zz0\ zq0zh0zZ0zP0zG0z60z00z00z00z00z00z00v00q00z00z00z0\ 0z00z00z02z0Kz0Zz0qz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz\ 0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz06v0zz0zz0zz0z\ z0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0\ zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz\ 0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0vz0q0zz0zz0zz0zz\ 0zz0zz0zzBzzPzzczzqzzzzzzzzzzzvzzqzzhzzZzzUzzKzzBz\ z6zz0zz0zz0vz0qz0lz0hz0qz0vz0zz0zz0zl0zP0z60z00z00\ z00z00z00z00z00z00q02Z0BB0K00U00q00Z00G000000000B2\ 0PG0c60Z20U00P06K0hl0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zq0zh0zZ\ 0zU0zK0zB0z20z00z06z0Gz0Pz0Uz0cz0lv0vh0zU0zG0z20z0\ 0z00z00z60zh0hz0lz0lz0qz0 } 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 ;
