It is located just east of the large minibrot. ; ; I named the image "Elusive Butterfly" when it reminded me of a ; butterfly, a colorful insect that many years ago my grandfather ; called a flutterby. ; ; The image actually shows a center of anti-bifurcation, where the ; number of elements is cut in half as the center is approached, ; and instead of a bottomless minibrot, a peak lies at the center. ; ; Thanks to the brilliant coloring, the art aspect of the image ; rates an 8. The math aspect still has enough originality to be ; worth a rating of a 7. ; ; The calculation time of 2-2/3 minutes borders on slowness, but ; luckily the official FOTD web site is again up and running along ; with the other FOTD sites. ; ; The finished image is posted on the FOTD web sites at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; We had lots of sun here at Fractal Central today, but when the ; day dawned with a temperature of 12F -11C and high winds, it ; hardly felt like a spring morning. The afternoon high of 27F ; -3C brought but a little improvement. Fractal cat Nicholas took ; advantage of the brilliant sun on the southwest shelf, while ; Jasmine continued her recovery in her private room. The fractal ; humans had another near-average day. ; ; The next FOTD will probably be posted in 24 hours, as most ; FOTD's are. Until the next time, take care, and until man ; uncovers and accepts the mysteries of the universe, he will ; never solve his most stubborn problems. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Elusive_Butterfly { ; time=0:02:40.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-1.747311130379525/0/3.253021e+009/1/\ -90/0 params=7/1e+020/0/0 float=y maxiter=2400 inside=0 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000DUzAUz6Uz4Uz1Qz0Oz0Mv0Kr0Im0Gj0Dl0Aj08g0\ 6e04d01b00`00Z20Z50X60W90UC0SD0Q0Dz5KpGP`WWNj`Azd0\ vY8sRFpMNoGWmCdk6nh2x`DPKJ08P00N00P05P0DP0NP5XQCgQ\ KtQSzQ`zZltgxprz0SI0F8050000200800DF0KX0mk5zzKnP0g\ 00b00W00P20I60QA0XF0eK0nP0xU0zZ0zb00pzD9gz0Kp0Gd0D\ 0DW0DW0DW0FW0GW0IW0KW0KW0LW0LW0NW0NW0PW0PW0QW0QW0S\ U0SU0UU0UU0WU0WU0XU0XU0ZU0ZS0`S0`S0bS0bS0dS0dS0eS0\ eS0eS0dW0bX0`Z0Z`0Zb0Xd0We0Ug2Sl5Qn8PpCNrFLvKKxNIz\ 0Nn0Lp0Lp0Lz0Lp0Lp1Lr2Lr2Lr4Lr4Lr5Lt5Lt6Kt8Kt8Kt9K\ v9KvAKvCKvCKvDKxDKxFKxFKxGIxIIzIIzKIzKIzLIzNIzNIzP\ IzPIzQIzDLSFKUFKWGKXGKZIK`IKbIKdKKeKKgLIjLIlNInNIp\ NIrPItPIvQIxQIz`8vZ9xZ9xZ9xZ9xD0US0FQ0IP0LP0PN0SL0\ WL0ZK2`K5dI9gGDlGGpFLtFPvNGeU9S`4Gj05rA0zK0zU0xK0p\ A6e2NZ9eSGzZ2CQA8GI59S11b00l00x00z00n00W04F0A24G1A\ N1GU1N`1Ue0bn0jv0rz0zz0zz1zz2zz2vv4rr5pp5ll6gg8de8\ `b9ZZAWXASUCPQDLPDKKDNGDP } frm:FinDivBrot-2 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1): z=(b)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c |z| < esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
