Since the magnitude is at the ; limit of conventional math, arbitrary precision math will ; produce a slightly sharper rendering, but at the same time will ; increase the calculation time from 10 minutes to a day or more. ; ; I put some extra effort into the coloring, mainly by setting the ; logmap at a higher than proper value, which produces the large ; flat areas that I colored black. This earns the art aspect a ; respectable 7. The math however is pure Mandelbrot stuff. ; There is nothing wrong with this, but the trick is now over 30 ; years old and hardly worth a rating above a 3. ; ; The name "Return to Basics" reminds us that the Mandelbrot set ; is still the most basic of all fractals. The calculation time ; of 10 minutes is a rough average. Different machines run ; type=mandel fractals at widely different speeds. So avoid all ; uncertainty by visiting the web sites. ; ; Check the finished image on the FOTD web sites at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Despite the brilliant sun, the high temperature of 59F 15C and ; brisk wind from the north kept a feeling of late winter in the ; air here at Fractal Central today. The fractal cats, who now ; regularly tussle with each other, were too pre-occupied with ; their play to be concerned with the slight chill. The fractal ; humans simply got through the day the same as they have done on ; countless other days. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and see you soon. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Return_to_Basics { ; time=0:10:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2000 type=mandel center-mag=-0.7499977505574\ 505/+0.00301634025810139/2.177347e+013/1/-40/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=750000 bailout=4 inside=0 logmap=-91500 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000000000000xc7xeBxhFwjKwmOwoSwqWmwzrnfpmkn\ lpigidccESw9Tw4Uw5So6Qh7Oa8NV9LOAJHBHABG3SnjQjhOgg\ NdfLaeKZdQOnVEwcBcl8Kt60n96iBCdDI_FOVHUQJ_TBGU8KW6\ OX4SS6NO7JK8FGAAI668C2KQ1Wb1fo1im9lkHojPrhXugcndfh\ ahaZkWXmPUoJRrCOt6MvPbpgsjaaqXKxqc5nc6lK6jc6hc6fc6\ dg6bf6`f6wB5ag4wB5bY6w07jk8wS9p_BwOCqUDrREwLFwPGwU\ HwVIwVJwUKwVLwWMwXNwXOw_Pw_Qw_RwZSwZTwZUw_VpWWqWXr\ WYsWZtW_uW`vWavWbvWcvWdvWewWfwWgwWiwWjwWkwWlwWmwWn\ wcJwc_wcowcjwcewc`wcWwcXwcXwcXwcdwckwcRzcMzcIzcEzc\ Azc6zc8zcUzcOzcJzcEzc9zc4zcBzcHzcOzcUzm`zmfzm`zmWz\ mRzmMzmfzmzzmuzmqzmmzmhzmdzm`zmczmePmhJmjDmlTmggmb\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
