I ; appropriately named it "Superluminal". ; ; The parent fractal is shaped much like the minibrot in today's ; image, though the parent is zooming toward the east. Today's ; scene is located in a narrow band of chaos on the southern shore ; line of the parent, near its rounded tip. ; ; The rating of a 7 is close to average. The rather muddy colors ; prevent me from giving the image a higher rating. ; ; The calculation time of 8 minutes is slow. I admit it. But the ; web sites are up and running, and will eliminate the need of ; booting the 30-year-old DOS-OS just to run the parameter file. ; ; Enjoy the convenience of viewing the image without the chore of ; calculating it by viewing the completed image online at: ; ; ; ; and don't forget the interesting variations at: ; ; ; ; or the thousands of back FOTD images at: ; ; ; ; A heavy bank of clouds hung over Fractal Central all day, while ; the temperature reached a relatively pleasant 61F 16C. The ; fractal cat didn't complain about the lack of sun, but he did ; grumble about being served the wrong flavor of food at his ; midday meal. (He wanted turkey; he got beef.) The humans ; passed the day working and wondering about the current spate of ; disasters. ; ; The next FOTD will most likely be posted in 24 hours. If it is ; not, then it will be posted in 48 hours. Until whenever, take ; care, and we can avoid future fertilizer plant disasters by ; moving fertilizer plants far away from residential areas. (The ; only good thing in all the recent bad news is the disappearance ; of the Jodi murder trial from the news media. Apparently God ; has had mercy on us.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Superluminal { ; time=0:08:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident center-mag=-1.030010403518456/-1.732735590658575/\ 2.622e+007/1/122.5/0 params=1.04/0/525/2400 float=y maxiter=10000 inside=0 logmap=800 periodicity=6 colors=000OSeOSdPSdPSdQSdQScRScRScSSbSSbTSbTSaUSaU\ SaVSaVR`VR`WR`WR_XR_XR_YRZYRZZRZZRZ_RY_RY`RY`RXaRX\ aRXaQWbQWbQWcQWcQVdQVUVVUVUUVUUVUUVTUVTUVTUUT`SN`S\ N_SN_SN_SNZSNZSNYSNYSNXSOXSOXSOWSOWSOVSOVSOVSOUSOU\ SOTSOTPITOISOISNIRMJRMJQLJQKJQKJPJJPIKOIKOHKNGKNGK\ MFKMELLELLDLKCLKCLKBLJAMJAMI9MI8MH8MH7MG6NG6NF5NF4\ NE4NE3ND2OI6EI6DH6CH6CG6BF6AF6AE69E69D68D67C67B66B\ 65A65A649639638627518628628728728228828929129A29A2\ 952952962942A62JCKKFHKDDLBAE97G73I73821B4KC5KD7KE8\ UF9UHEUIHcJIcKPcLQmMUmOUmPUm3cz3Xz3cz3Uz3cz3Uz2cz2\ Uz2cz2Uz2_zUPzUKzUKzUPzULzUSzUPzUYzUPzUZzUPzUZzUPz\ UZzUPzUZzcVkcbjmeimhhmkgmnfmlemjemhemfemdemcemcemc\ emcemcemczmczmczmczmczmczmczmczmczmmzmmzmmzmmzmmzm\ mzmmzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
