Then, instead of ; checking the valley on the negative X-axis, we checked the ; valley on the positive X-axis. Today's image, which rates an ; exceptional art value of 8-1/2, is the result. ; ; The art rating is worth every half point, but the math aspect is ; so overworked that I could rate it ho higher than a modest 5. ; ; The name "Bits and Pieces" can mean whatever one wants it to ; mean. In today's image it refers to the semi-organized confetti ; scattered throughout the frame. ; ; The calculation time of 2 minutes will pass quickly enough once ; the brilliant colors become apparent. Visiting the web sites ; can cut the wait even faster. ; ; Check the finished image at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; The official FOTD web site will be up to date very soon. ; ; Lots of sunshine and a high temperature of 64F 18C made today ; the most enjoyable day so far this year here at Fractal Central. ; The older fractal cat enjoyed the sunshine, while the younger ; continued her recovery. The humans wished they had more time to ; enjoy the sun. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted shortly. Until shortly arrives, ; take care, and I see that the second "Cosmos" series has hit the ; TV after a wait of over 30 years. I wonder if it will be just ; another plug for rationalism and the scientific method. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Bits_and_Pieces { ; time=0:02:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+1.089601472903944/-0.01698422089345075\ /4.346141e+008/1/-75/0 params=3.01/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=190 periodicity=6 colors=0000000000000000000000000200300600880CG0EQ0\ IZ0Ki0IZ0GQ2EK3EC4C66A0880A80C60E40E40I60K80MA0OC0\ SE0UG0XI4ZIAdKGfMMiOQkQXqSdtUkwXtyXyzStzOqzKkzIizE\ fzAaz6Zz4Uz2Sz0Qz0Mz0Kz0Gz0Ez0Cz00n20aA0QK0GU0EM0E\ GUEAUC3UC0UC0UC0UA0UA0UA0UA0UICd6AS08K06A04z03z02z\ 00z0k00n00n00q00q00t00t00w00w00y30y60zA0zCS60QA0OC\ 0ME0KG000A00G00K00O00S30XA0aI2fQ8kZEqiMwtSzqOwnKtk\ GqiCni8kf4id2fa0dZ0aZ0ZX0XU0US0SS0QK0SCCU4XX0wX0tQ\ 0tM0qI0qE0nA0n60k30k00M802G00O00Q00Q00Q04Q0AQ0GQ0M\ Q0SQ0ZQ0fQ2nQ2wQ3zQ3zQ3zQ6zOAtMCiMGZKIQIMIIOAGS2EU\ 0EZ0Ck0AjFAi08n06cK6i03d02Z00S00O00K00E00A00600200\ 0wG0tI0nK0kM2fO6dQEZUMXXUSZdQan_dwcfycaycZzcUzmSzm\ OczMczKczEczAcz4mz2mz0mz0mz0mz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0z\ z0zz0zzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
