Those colors were red, orange, yellow, green, ; blue, indigo, and violet. Being a scientifically minded young ; fellow, I found this quite interesting, and eagerly waited for ; the next rainbow to appear. ; ; Some time later, a rainbow did appear. But where were those ; seven colors? I saw lots of red, almost no orange or yellow, ; some green, but not a trace of the blue, indigo or violet. And ; what of colors such as brown, pink, purple, gold, etc.? Where ; did those colors fit into the rainbow? I soon discovered that ; brown, pink, purple, and gold are not spectral colors, though ; the absence of yellow and blue in the natural bow remained a ; puzzle. ; ; I think it was the next year that I learned about infra-red and ; ultra-violet light. Were those 'colors' actually there in the ; sky, lurking invisibly on both sides of the visible bow? It was ; not until many years later, when I photographed rainbows in ; infra-red and ultra-violet light, that I discovered the answer. ; Yes, I found that infra-red and ultra-violet rainbows do indeed ; exist. The infra-red bow is quite sharp, while the ultra-violet ; bow is diffuse and far less obvious. ; ; Since today's image is composed of strong primary colors, I ; named it "The Primary Colors". Since it neither pleases nor ; disappoints me, I have rated it an average 5. The render time ; of 28 minutes is a bit slow for an average image. I therefore ; recommend downloading the GIF file of the image from: ; ; ; ; or from: ; ; ; ; The weather Thursday here at Fractal Central was quite pleasant, ; with lots of sun and a temperature of 66F 19C. These conditions ; made for very happy cats, who simply oozed joy as they romped in ; the yard, trying to deceive themselves that they were still able ; to catch one of the squirrels that intermittently teased them. ; ; As for me, I'm about at the 30 percent stage in the preparation ; of the soon-to-appear FOTD-CD. This means that I have about ; twice as much yet to do as I have already done. The progress is ; about as expected. My present schedule of all day on the CD and ; 1/2 day once every 3 days on the ongoing FOTD is keeping things ; pretty much on schedule. Look for the next FOTD on Monday, the ; 18th of March. Until then take care, and don't get fractally ; congested. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START 20.0 PAR-FORMULA FILE================================ The_Primary_Colors { ; time=0:28:49.26--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-0.25269922649259500/+2.527784825830010\ 00/5.850469e+009/1/-85.0001951243039429/-0.0030271\ 9353218186549 params=0.0002/6/6/-1/0/0 float=y maxiter=3800 inside=0 logmap=536 periodicity=10 colors=00070u70o10i00b00Q00K00K00K00K00f40X90NG0KK\ 0KQ0KX0Kb0Kg0Ko0Ku1Kz3Kz4Kz6Nz7Pz9Qz9Sz9Uz9Wz9Xz9Z\ z9ZzB`zBbyBdwBfuBgsBiqBikHkgPkdWm`bmXgoUooQwqNzqJz\ sGzsQzi`sbkgWwXPsWNoWKkWKgWJdWH`WHXWGUWEQbENZCJXBG\ WBCW99W76W73W60W40W40W30W10W10W00W00X30X40X70X90XC\ 0XE0XG0XJ0XK0XP0XQ0XU0XW0ZX0Z`0Zb0Xf0Wg0Uk0Sm0Qo0K\ s0Ku0Jy0Hz0Hz3Gz4Hz7Jz9JzBKzEJzGGzHEzKCzN9yQ0oS0gU\ 0gX0gZ0g`0id0if0og0uk0zm0zq0zs4zuCzyJzzJzzJzzHzzHz\ zHzzGzzGzzEzzEzzCzzCwzBszBoz9kz9iz9fz7bz7Zz6Wz6Uz4\ Qz4Nz3Jz3Gz3Ez1Bz17z04z01z00z00z00z00zK0yC0s30u60d\ 90wC0yG0zJ0zN0zQ0zU0za0z`0zd0zg0zk0zm0zl0zm0zd0zZ0\ bS0ZP0UH0PC0K70N90PC0QC0SG0UJ0WP0XS0ZW0`Z0b`0db0ff\ 0gg0ik0km0mo0os0qu0sw0uz1wz3yz3zz4zz6zz6wz7sz9ozBi\ zCfzEbzEZzGUzHQzJNzKJzKEzNBzP7zQ3zS0zU0zU0zW0zX0zZ\ 0z`0z`0zX0zU0zQ0zP0zK0zH0zE0zC0z9bz0KzWHzQGzNEzJCz\ EBzB7z76z34z03z01z00z00z0 } frm:MandelbrotMix4 {; 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, k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END 20.0 PAR-FORMULA FILE==================================
