This expression ; has two critical values, +2 and zero. Both critical values ; produce similar fractals, which are oriented 180 degrees apart. ; ; Both parent fractals resemble the east parts of Mandelbrot sets ; with the main bud and spike cut off by flat disks. Today's ; scene lies in the chaos along the northern edge of the parent ; that results when Z is initialized to the critical value of zero ; by setting real(p4) to -2. ; ; I named the image "Maximum Festivity" because of the riot of ; overly brilliant colors, which were mostly produced by rendering ; the image with the 'outside' set to 'tdis'. In fact, these ; garish colors hold down the art rating to an unexceptional 7. ; The math rates a 7 also, mostly because of the non-zero setting ; of the real(p4) parameter. ; ; The image takes a solid 2-1/2 minutes to finish, not so bad as ; fractals go, but even more time can be saved by checking the web ; sites. ; ; The finished image is online at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Today brought a mix of clouds and sun, and a temperature of 90F ; 32C, to Fractal Central. The fractal cats thought it was a ; little too warm for comfort, while the fractal humans thought it ; was just right. The next FOTD will be posted in a day or two, ; or possibly three. ; ; Until the next FOTD appears, take care, and don't be misled by ; conservative deniers of climate change, (aka global warming). ; The world-wide weather records show that it is a fact. And at ; the same time don't get caught up in the progressive frenzy to ; pass new legislation in the name of fighting climate change. ; ; Since the climate doesn't obey man-made laws, passing new laws ; would amount to nothing more than feeling good while satisfying ; various political and economic agendas. With our current lack ; of technology, hedonistic life style, and so many nations ; developing, there is nothing we would be willing or able to do ; that would stop or even slow the warm-up. It would be far ; better not to economically cripple ourselves and to use our ; resources to prepare for the challenges of the warmer planet to ; come. ; ; ; Jim (Captain Negative) Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Maximum_Festivity { ; time=0:02:30.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.3041584081700229/+0.1763178398559197\ /142961/1/-65/0 params=-1/-1/-1/1/0/0/-2/0 float=y maxiter=3600 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=6 colors=000UzzH0zM4zS9z_CzeHzjMzrSzxYzzbzzgzzmzzrzz\ xzzzzzuzzprzjjxebp_UgUM_PHPK9HE1990040000000000000\ 0000000000000100400600900C00C00E00H00K00M00P00S11U\ 44Y64_96bC6bE9eHCgKCjMEmPHpSHrUKuYMxYMz_PzbPzeSzgU\ zjUzmYzp_zr_zubzxezzezzgzzjzzgzzgzzezzezzbzzbzz_zx\ _zu_zuYzrYzpUzpUxmSujSrjSpgPjePgeMebMb_K__KYYHUUHS\ UHMSEKPEHPCEMCCK99K96H00640C94HH6MMCSUHY_KbgUgmamu\ frzmxzszzzzzuzzpzzgzmYu_UpKKj6Ab00Y00S00M00P00P00S\ 00S00S00U00U00U00Y00Y00Y00_00_00_00b00b00b00e00e00\ e00g00g00g00j00j00j00m00m00m00p00p00p00r00r00u00u0\ 0u00x00x00x00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z01z01z04z\ 04z04z06z06z06z09z09z09z0Cz0Cz0Cz0Kz0Sz1_z9gzHpzKz\ zMzzPxzPxzSuzSrzUrzUpzYmz_mz_jzbgzbgzeezebzgbzj_zj\ _xmYxmUxpUxpSxrPxrPuuMuxKuxKuzHuzEuzYrzmrzqrzzzzfr\ zUpz4pc1pz0KzQ0zmpzmmz0mz0mz0mz0mz0mz0jz0j00z00z00\ z00z00z00z00z00z00z40z90z } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, esc=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
