The ; first signs of transition are already visible from the surface, ; in the finer detail. Today's scene lies just inside the point ; where the main spike is cut off by the escape radius. A small ; outzoom will show how close it lies. ; ; The name "17-Year Minibrot" refers to the generating formula, ; and also to the 17-year cicadas, (magiciada septemdecem), which ; are due to emerge in the Fractal Central vicinity in a few ; weeks. ; ; I rendered the image with the outside set to 'tdis'. This gave ; the image enough detail to make it interesting. ; ; Both the mathematical and artistic ratings are 7, which means ; that both are somewhat above average. The calculation time of ; 15 seconds will probably be cut by at least half on a SOTA ; (state of the art) machine, but the minor annoyance of setting ; up and running this letter as a parameter file will remain. ; This minor annoyance can be eliminated at the web sites. ; ; Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, the image may be ; viewed without the need of calculating it by surfing over to the ; official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; High-definition variations are posted at: ; ; ; ; and scads of back images are online at: ; ; ; ; Really pleasant weather was appreciated as best as possible by ; those here at Fractal Central today. The fractal cat questioned ; the partly cloudy skies, but approved of the temperature of 82F ; 28C. The fractal humans alternated between commercial work and ; weather enjoyment. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in the near future. Until the near ; future arrives, take care, and terrorists are said to be enemies ; of freedom, which I guess gives us the right to over-run their ; land and drop bombs on them. But I fail to see how anyone could ; be an enemy of freedom. ; ; Would the terrorists rather be slaves than free people, or could ; they simply be fighting back as best they can against what they ; see as our aggressive intrusion into their sovereign territor- ; ies? After all, some people say we must keep them suppressed if ; we are to maintain access to the raw materials that lie in their ; territories but that we need to maintain our comfortable but ; extravagant life style. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= 17-year_Minibrot { ; time=0:00:15.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=DivideBrot3 center-mag=-23.99999459284\ 184/0/3.647139e+011 params=15/12/475.99974045665/0 float=y maxiter=15000 inside=0 outside=tdis symmetry=xaxis periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=0008ZH9YIAXJAWKBVMCUNDTODRQEQRFPSGOTGNVHMWI\ LXGLXIKYKKZMJ_NJ`PIaRIaSHbUHcWGdXGeZFe`FfaEgcEheBi\ dHffIihKkjNmlQonTrpWtrZvsaztdxtgwujuumtupsvsqvvpvx\ owzmwzlwzkszhozflzchzadzZazXYzUUzSRzPKzNJzKGyICyF8\ yD6z85yB5vD4sG4oI4lL3iN3eQ2bS2_V1R`2XX4VY6UZ8T_AS`\ CRaEPbGOcHNdJMeLLfNJgPIhRHiTGjVFkWElVFkUGjTHjTHiSI\ iRJhQJhQKgPLfOLfNMeNNeMNdLOdKPcKPcKP_KPWKPSKPOKPJK\ PFKPBKP7KO1KP3KQ5KR7KR9KSBKTDKTFKUGKVIKWKUWMVXOWYQ\ XYSYZUZ_V_`X`zZa7`btbctddtfethetnftietggueitcktblt\ `nt_ptYqtXotZmt`ktbitcgteetgcthatj_tlYtnWtoUtqStsQ\ ttRtqRtnStkSthTteTtbTt_UtXUtUVtRVtOVtMTtLRtLQtKOtK\ MtJLtJJtIBtF8tC5tA2t63t84t95tA5tC6tD7tE8tF000070`t\ GetMjtSotYstc_tkHtrKtpMtnOtmRtkTtiVth_tbdtXitRntLi\ tNetPatQXtSTtTDtQFtSHtUJtWLtYNtyitYdt``tcWtfStiNtl\ _tiitnKtrntqktphtpetoatnZtnWzmTzmUzgmzmJzoFzqHz`Jz\ KKz3bzfjznrzvjzqbzmWzhOzd } frm:DivideBrot3 { ; Jim Muth z=0, c=pixel, a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2)+100: z=sqr(z)/(z^(-a)+b)+c |z| < d } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
