It is still probably the richest and most ; widely explored fractal of all time, a statement backed up by ; today's image. ; ; The math rating of a lowly 3 may at first appear disappointing, ; but actually it indicates that the formula behind the image is ; the most widely used and totally familiar fractal formula of ; all, Z^2+C, the formula that creates the most familiar of all ; fractals, the Mandelbrot set. ; ; The image lies on a filament in the northast outskirts if a tiny ; minibrot on the X-axis just beyond the large minibrot on the ; main spike of the M-set. ; ; The name "A Mandelbrot Scene" needs no explanation ; ; My deep humility prevents me from rating the art aspect at a 9. ; The actual art rating of an 8 seems much closer to the mark. ; Regardless, there is easily enough interest in the image to ; justify the measly 10 seconds required to finish the calculation. ; ; The image is posted already calculated at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; The day began with snow, sleet and freezing rain here at Fractal ; Central. The rain ended before noon, leading to a partly cloudy ; afternoon with a temperature of 43F +6C, which is the warmest ; day in almost a month. The fractal cats ignored the break in ; the weather and spent the afternoon sleeping. The fractal ; he-man lucked out when the sun appeared and melted the ice on ; the sidewalk without human intervention. The coffee was still ; highly appreciated however. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted most likely in 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, and whatever the problem, higher technology ; will save the day. And if I actually believed this, I would not ; be repeating it so often. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Mandelbrot_Scene { ; time=0:00:10.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-1.7864399162298\ 41/+0.00000012072335758/2.557824e+011/1/-83.75/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=6400 bailout=16 inside=0 logmap=-893 periodicity=6 colors=00000C00C00D00D00E00F00G10H20I30J40K50L60M7\ 0O81Q92SA3TB4UC5VE6WF7YG8_H9aICcNFeTHgZKicNmiQroTv\ tVzKHePIaUJYZKUcLRhLNmPJrUGvZCzc8zh5z0Dc6KP8DDA70C\ 14G58K8BOCFRFJVIMZMQbPTeSWbOY`K_YHaWDcUAVP9NL8FH77\ D66A960C6AF5FI5KK5PN4UQ4ZT4cV5eY6g`7hb8je9lhAmjBom\ CrpCwrLzzHcxDUv9Kt5Cs8FqAHpCJnFLmHNlJQjMSiOUhQWfTY\ eV`cXbb_daaffchmejzbhm`ffZd`WbaU`aSZbPXcNVdLTdIReG\ PfENgCMgELeGLdIKcJKaLK`NJ_OJYQIXSIWTIUVHTXHSYHRVOS\ SVSQ`TNgTLmUItUGzUHxVHwVHuVItVIsVIqVJpVJnWJmWKlWKj\ WKiWLgWLfWLeWTc1WcBYcK_cTbcbdckfctgcthcsictjcukcvm\ cwncxocypczqczrczscztczuczvczwczxczzczzczzczzczzcz\ zczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczymzzmzzmzzmzzmzzm\ zzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
