The name "A Spiked Fractal" refers to ; the sharply pointed dark areas surrounding the rather large ; minibrot. ; ; Without doubt, the best feature of the image is its unbelievably ; fast calculation time of under 5 seconds. But of course, this ; does not include the time required to set up and run the ; parameter file. The web sites will eliminate the need to run ; the parameter file however. ; ; The completely calculated image is posted online at: ; ; ; ; with high-definition variations at: ; ; ; ; The FOTD back imaged may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Sunny weather and a temperature of 72F 22C made today near ideal ; here at Fractal Central. Clouds and a rain shower moved in at ; 6:00pm, but by then the fine day was in the bag. The fractal ; cat and the fractal humans both enjoyed the fine weather while ; it lasted. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted before too long. Until whenever ; that happens, take care, and I hear that some teen-aged girls ; around town are swooning over the surviving Boston bomber, and ; even planning to have his picture tattooed on their bodies. I ; guess they think he's cute or something, but to me it seems ; strange to be honoring a 19-year-old man who is almost certainly ; a mass murdering terrorist. At the same time, it is also a ; relief for any worried men, since it appears that such frivolous ; women will be totally unable to replace men in any significant ; numbers in the prestigious but formidable high-paying fields of ; science and technology. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Spiked_Fractal { ; time=0:00:05.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident center-mag=-3.254107804724713/0/5524.303 params=0.5/2/0.1/-4/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=265 inside=0 logmap=7 symmetry=xaxis periodicity=6 colors=000SQmUSmWUmYWm`Ymc`mfcmifm005K00000BJFIUHP\ cJWmL_kIczGfzDjhBmz9i_FeTKaMQYcVUc_QUWNUSJUOGcKCcG\ 9cDDkaJmZPoWVcU`cRfcPhcRjcSkcTmcVnmWpmXqmYkmXemW`m\ WHmlAmf3m`7mWBmRAmV8mZ6mb5mf3mj2mn9mlGmjNmiTmg_mef\ mdmmbsmanmcjmefmfjmJjmJjlJjlJjlIjlIjlIjlIjlIklIklI\ klIklIklHklHkkHkkHkkHkkHkkHkkHkkGkkGlkGlkGlkGlkGlk\ GlkGljFljFljFljFljFljFljFljFljFmjEmjEmjEmjEmzEmzEm\ zEmzEmzDmzDmzDmzDmzDmzDmzDnzDnzDnzCnzCnzCnmCnmCnmC\ nmCnmCnmBnmBnmBnmBomBomBomBomBomAomAomAozAozAozAoz\ AozAozAoz9oz9pz9pz9pz9pz9pz9pz9pz8pz8pz8pz8pz8pz8p\ z8pz8pz8nz9lzAkzAizBizAhzBhzBhzBhzChzChzCgzDgzDgzD\ gzEgzEgzEfzFfzFfzFfzFfzGfzGfzGezHezHezHezIezIezIdz\ JdzJdzJdzKdzKdzKdzKczLczLczLczMczMczMbzNbzNbzNbzOb\ zObzOazPazPazPazPazQazQazQ`zR`zR`zR`zS`zS`zS_zT_zT\ _zT_zU_zU_zU_zUZzVZzVZzVZzWZzWZzWYzXYzXYzXYzYYzYYz\ YZzZYzYYzYYzYYzYYzYYzYYzY } 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 ;
