It might be wise for newer fractal fans (if any) to ; include it in one of their formula files. ; ; There have been many fractal trees in FOTD history, and today's ; image is another tree. Most FOTD trees have been shaped like ; apple trees, but today's tree resembles a pine tree, or more ; specifically a Christmas tree, since it appears to be decorated ; with lights. ; ; The image is also the entire parent fractal, which was generated ; by calculating the expression Z^(1.1)+Z^(-1.1)+C in the Oblate ; direction and rotating the scene 90 degrees. This parent ; fractal is actually a sideways view of the Seahorse Valley of ; the critical Mandeloid slice of the parent Julibrot. ; ; The name "Tree Time" is a simple comment on the image and the ; frequency of fractal trees in FOTD history. ; ; The artistic value of 7 and mathematical value of 6 are close to ; average, which makes the calculation time of 45 seconds kind of ; a bargain. ; ; Make life even easier by checking the finished image at: ; ; ; ; And check the hi-def renderings at: ; ; ; ; Thousands of FOTD back images are at: ; ; ; ; A very pleasant though slightly chilly day was enjoyed by all ; here at Fractal Central today. I enjoyed the interesting clouds ; in the sky; FL enjoys the near perfect mix of sun and rain that ; has her garden in top shape; the fractal cat Nicholas enjoyed ; his extra treat of turkey and cheddar. For the record, the sky ; was partly cloudy and the temperature reached a high of 75F 24C. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted within a matter of hours. Exactly ; how many hours remains to be seen. Until whenever, take care, ; and why stop halfway with only *gun* control? Let's pass a law ; to control everything that could be used to hurt anyone. No, ; that wouldn't work. We would have to ban fists, which certainly ; can cause injury, and that would mean removing everyone's hands. ; And what about mouths, which sometimes utter words that can ; cause more harm than fists and guns combined? ; ; It appears that banning things would not work. We'll just have ; to pass a law to control human behavior. But then who would ; write the laws describing which type of human behavior would be ; banned -- idealistic young liberals striving for social equality ; or greedy old capitalists striving for more profit . . . or ; maybe Big Brother, or even the aliens from Sirius-C. Too bad -- ; I guess nothing is going to change. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Tree_Time { ; time=0:00:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=dec-97.par formulaname=OblateMix center-mag=3.20558/0/0.3299/\ 9.2497/90/0 params=1/1.1/1/-1.1/0/-1.36989 float=y maxiter=5000 inside=253 logmap=yes periodicity=6 colors=00000b00a00`00_01X02Y03Y04Z05_06_07`08a09a0\ Aa0Ba0Ca0Da0Ea0E`0F`0G`0I`0J`0K`0L`0L_0M_0N_0O_0OZ\ 0PZ0RZ0TZ0WZAYYK`YUcYceYmgYsiXtkXumXvnXwpcxumzzzzz\ zyzmxwcwtYvqZunZtmZskZriZqg_pe_oc_nb`mb`laakaaj`ai\ `ah_bg_bfZbeZbdYccYcbXcaXc`Wd_WdZVdYVdXUeWUeVTeTSf\ TSfTRfTReTQeTPeTPdTOdTOcTNcUMcUMbULbUKbUKaUJaUIaUI\ `UH`UH_UG_UF_UFZUEZUDZUDYVCYVBYVBXVAXVAWV9WV8WV8VV\ 7VV7VU7UT7TT7TS7SS6SR6RR6QQ6QQ6PP6OO6OO5NN5NN5MM5L\ M5LL5KL5KK4JJ4IJ4II4HI4GH4GH3FG3FF3EF3DE3DE3CD3BD2\ BC2AC2AB29A28C29D29E39F39G49H59I69J69K79ZAcZAcZBdZ\ BdZCdYCeYDeYDeYEfYEfYEfYFfYFgXGgXGgXHhXHhXHhXIiXIi\ XJiWJjWKjWKjWLkWLkWLkWMlWMlVNlVNmVOmVOmVOmVPnVPnVQ\ nUQoURoURoUSpUSpUSpUTqUUqUWqUXrTYrT`rTdsTgsTjsTotT\ mtTltSjuSguSeuSduSdvScvScwSbwRawR_vQZuQYtPXsOWrNVq\ NUpMToLSnKRmKQlJPkIOjHNiHMhGLgFKfGLgHLgHKgIKgIJgJJ\ gJJfKIfKIfLHfLHfHAKMHfNGf } frm:OblateMix {; Jim Muth z=real(pixel)+flip(real(p3)), c=flip(imag(pixel))+imag(p3), a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2): z=(a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f))+c, |z| <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
