The slightly different angle ; changes the previous nice symmetrical image into a B.E.M. or ; Bug-Eyed Monster of the kind that once populated the pages of ; the pulp sci-fi magazines. ; ; It's not a very frightening monster however, and the math trick ; that created it is quite old, so I could rate the art and math ; aspects of the scene no higher than an everyday 5. But even a 5 ; is worth a quick check, and the image calculates in a reasonably ; fast 2 minutes, so why not boot up Fractint and see the monster. ; It might be good for a laugh. ; ; Relief for those who would rather not calculate may be found on ; the FOTD web sites, where the image has been calculated and ; posted for maximum convenience. The web sites may be accessed ; at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; The weather here at Fractal Central today left a lot to be ; desired. The steady cold rain that fell all day put a total ; damper on any outside plans, while the temperature of 39F +4C ; kept all thoughts of snow at bay. The fractal cats had a slow ; day also. Jasmine wanted to play, but Nico was in a bad mood ; and shouted her off when she tried to start a tussle. The human ; mood was only a little better. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in a day or maybe two. The only ; way to be sure when is to keep checking back. Until whenever ; the fractal spirit strikes, take care, and now that science ; (whatever it might be) is proving scientifically that science ; is based on a grand illusion, where does this leave us when we ; want to know what to consider reality? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= B-E-M { ; time=0:02:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot4 center-mag=-0.00295243/\ -0.00295243/10/1/45/0 params=89.99999/89.99999/\ 89.99999/89.99999/-1.22275/0/0/0/4.003/0 float=y passes=1 maxiter=600 inside=0 periodicity=0 colors=000AHHAGHAGH9GH9FG9FG8EG8EGynIxmHwmHwlHvlHv\ lHukHzYG7BK8C`7Ha9Ka9NdAQcATgBWkBZoCasCbuCcwFeuHfs\ JgqLhpNinPjlUzzmzzzzzzzWzmRzcPzUOz_ZmHMcKLZUKPcJZm\ HcwGZmFUcEPUDNKCDKAKKBRRCYYDccEjjFqqGwwGrrFmmEihDd\ cD_ZCWUBRPANLALGXKCsNGrQKqTOpWRoYVo`Zncamfeliikklk\ ijjghiefiddhbch`ag__fYYfWWeVVeU`cUebTjaTo`RkaQhaOe\ bNbbLZbKWcITcHQcFNdEJdCGdBDe9Ae87eXE`tLWuI`uGduEhu\ CmuAqu8unJshTrbcpXmoVfkU_gSTcRM_SEUQFXOFZNF`LGbKGd\ IGgHGiFHkEHmCHoBHr9It8Iv6Ix5Iz9GyDFyHEyLCxPBxTAxX9\ x`7wd6wh5wl3vp2vt1vw0vlPXbl8`gD_bHYYLXTPVOUUJYSEaR\ AeVCgYDhaEjdGkgHmkInnKprLquMsxNtsTonYkibgdgc_l_Zk_\ ZkZZkZYjZYjZYiYXiYXhYXhYWhXWgXWgXVfXVfXVfWUeWUeWUd\ WUdVTdVTcVTcVScVSbUSbURaURaUR`TQ`TQ`TQ_TP_SPZSPZSO\ ZSOYROYRNXRNXRNWQMWQMWQMVQLVPLUPLUPKTPKTOKTOJSOJSO\ JROIRNIRNIQNHQNHPMHPMGOMGOMGOLFNLFNLFMLEMKELKELKDL\ KDKJDKJCJJCJJCJIBIIBIIBHI } frm:SliceJulibrot4 {; 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 ;
