This parent is shaped like a featureless ; empty circle, with a little bit of Mandelbrot stuff on its ; western edge. A large bud that is beginning to split apart lies ; on this western edge, with two fractalized main spikes extending ; out eastward from the bud. Today's scene lies in some debris ; between the two spikes, just east of the two large minibrots. ; ; The name "A Negative Outlook" does not refer to an evening in a ; now vanished old-style photo lab, surrounded by trays of ; dangerous chemicals, nor does it imply a negative world view. ; It refers to the location of today's scene on the negative ; X-axis of the parent fractal. ; ; I decoded to rate both the art and math aspects of today's image ; at a 7. They are both at least a little above average. ; ; The calculation time of one minute is fast enough to make a trip ; to the web sites not absolutely necessary, but the web sites are ; always there to make life easier. ; ; Save a bit of time anyway by checking the finished image at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Increasing clouds and a temperature of 34F +1C made today seem ; like a return to midwinter here at Fractal Central. Fractal cat ; Nicholas is becoming impatient for spring to arrive, while ; Jasmine is becoming even more impatient to get her collar off ; and get out of her room. She has only one more day to wait. ; The fractal humans made it through the day with a minimum of ; distractions. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours give or take a few. ; Until then, take care, and on a recent evening, while I was busy ; complaining about something, FL told me to stop complaining, so ; she could watch the squabbling on the TV romance show without ; being distracted by my squabbling. Women are probably a bigger ; mystery than the quantum measurement problem. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Negative_Outlook { ; time=0:01:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.7264538029436962/+0.004409674532122/\ 2.21e+009/1/-90/0 params=0.99/1/1000/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=96 periodicity=6 colors=0004700700410400400710807E0I41750FK13G0LJ1C\ LJLHFRERPEFUJDRH4UK9ZD7cC8fC8dRFmzzWqzHYc000N66I47\ F38B15500000000VzzQqrNjhKbhJXgIS_IOYHLaFHbGFXJEXLD\ XNDSPDSQDNUDNWDLYDQZDVaD_cDdfDiiDikDitvBCzzCqzHhzO\ gzUgz_hzbfxa`waXuaUucPscLqdGpeEpfEihFdiH`kIXmKToMQ\ pNMtOJvPEwQCySCzTCzUCzWCzXCwXCoXAfXBZXISWRPYVL`dGc\ gBdiAflAhnBjqBlsAjn9hk9fg8dd7b`7`Y6_V6YS5WP5VM5TK4\ ON5KSCHVJF_RCbZDgeDkXTWaXZdaahddkhfolirplvsoyvpzxr\ zztzzuzzuzzkzzczyWzw`zuczthzskzsozppznqzpqwopoomgk\ ggkg`igTieLheGje9jd9ld9ld9ld8jb8jb8jb8h`8h`8h`8g_8\ g_8g_7eZ7eZ7eZ7eZIhQHeRGbQG`QFYPFWOETODQPDQPDNPDMP\ DKPDJPHNLKOKPTLTYIZbGceGadEacDaaD_`B_`B_ZA_YAZW8ZV\ 8ZV7ZU7XS6XR6XQ6XQ6_WDa`MceVfjdmqmrvrqvrovqlvqjvpg\ vpfvpdvpavo_voWvoVvoUvoNxeIzXCzNCzFCzCCzCCzCIzBRzB\ bzBnzAaz9Sz7Hz5ozNozNrzNtzMwzOyzNzzMzzLzzJzzItzNfz\ RUzUPzVVzW_z_izdrzizzmzzn } 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 ;
