Today's scene lies in ; the spurious detail that fills East Valley of this M-set. ; ; The effect of a minibrot illuminating its surroundings was ; achieved by coloring the 'inside' brilliant white and rendering ; the scene with the 'outside' set to 'fmod'. ; ; The calculation time of 50 seconds is quite fast, leaving little ; time to ponder the fractal mysteries. Checking the web sites ; will be equally fast, leaving the mysteries unsolved. ; ; So check the finished image at: ; ; ; ; and the glorious variations at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; and forget the mysteries. ; ; Heavy clouds prevailed here at Fractal Central today, but it ; remained dry, while a few breaks of sun kept the fractal cats ; from feeling too glum. The temperature of 79F 26C brought few ; complaints from either the cats or humans. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in the near future. Until then, ; take care, and if we really wanted to fight climate change, we ; would stop pushing meaningless politically-driven steps that ; could do nothing more than make us feel better while the planet ; continues to grow hotter. ; ; If we were really serious, which we apparently are not, we would ; abandon the use of motor vehicles and airplanes powered by ; energy derived from fossil fuels, and drastically curb the use ; of electricity to power our homes and factories until the time ; comes (if ever) when we can generate reliable power from nuclear ; fusion. If we cry that these steps would be too harsh and would ; wreck the economy, as they probably would, then let's suck it ; up, pack away our protest signs, admit defeat and prepare for ; the immense problems soon to come. Wind and solar energy will ; never come close to replacing coal, oil and natural gas. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Encore { ; time=0:00:50.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip float=y center-mag=+0.2774982732/0/554762 params=-100/-100\ /-14.75/0 maxiter=3600 inside=255 proximity=0.08 outside=fmod symmetry=xaxis periodicity=6 colors=000HOPHOPHPPHPOHQOHROHROHSNHSNHTNMLSMLSLMRL\ MRLMRKMQKNQKNQKNPJNPJOOJOOJOOIONIONIPNIPMHPMHPLHPL\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzyzzwzzuzzszvrzrqzmpzhozcmyZkxViwRgv\ RfvReuSduSctSbtTasT`sT_rUZrUYqUXqVWpVVpVUoVUoWUnWU\ mWUmXUlXUlXUkYVkYVjYVjZViZViZVhZVh_Vg_Wg_Wf`Wf`We`\ WeaWdaWcaWcbXbbXbbXabXacX`cX`cX_cX_cYZcYZcYYcYYcYX\ cYXcYXcYWcYXcXXbXX_WXZWXYVXXVWWUWVUWUTWTTWSSWRSWQR\ VPRVOQVNQVMQVLRVKSUKTUKUUKUUKUUKUUKUUKVUKVUKUUKUUK\ UUKUUKUUKTUKTULTUMTVNTVOSWPSWPSXQSYRSYSRZTRZUR_VR_\ VR`WQ`XQaYQbZQb_Qc`PcaPdaPdbPecPedOfeOgfOggOhgOhhN\ iiNijNjkNjlNkmMlnLjmKglJdkIbjH_iGXgFVfESeCPdBMcAKb\ 9H`8E_7DZ6CY5BX3AW59V58U57U66T66S06R06Q06O06N06M06\ L06K06J06I06H06G05F04E03D02C01B00A0090080070060050\ 04003002001000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 0000000000000000000000rzz } 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 ;
