This parent consists of a large ; twisted fractal with a large s-shaped bay, the whole thing ; surrounded by disconnected minibrot-like smaller fractals. ; Today's scene lies in a blunt valley in one of these small ; fractals well southeast of the main body of the fractal complex. ; ; I named the image "A Skewed Outlook" when I noticed the totally ; different appearance of the left and right halves of the scene. ; This unexpected difference earns the math part of the image a ; rating of an 8. The art part rates a 7, which is above average ; but nothing to brag about. ; ; The calculation time of 5-3/4 minutes might start to drag for ; those fractalists with other tasks to attend to. Here is where ; the web sites dash to the rescue. ; ; The finished image is posted at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; A typically warm and muggy hazy summer day passed uneventfully ; here at Fractal Central today. The temperature of 91F 33C kept ; things on the lazy side, especially among the fractal cats, who ; spent most of the afternoon stretched out in the living room. ; The humans, unable to take it as easy, spent the day doing the ; necessary things as slowly as possible. The day ended with a ; heavy thunder-storm that dropped the temperature to 70F 21C. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in a day or two. Until then, take ; care, and the more 'news' I see on the mass media outlets, the ; more I wonder how much of that 'news' has been carefully chosen ; and spun to create a particular political impression. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Skewed_Outlook { ; time=0:05:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident center-mag=+1.348076433286836/-0.5324527881075607/\ 3.35741e+012/1/87.5/0 params=1.7/0/28/0 float=y maxiter=3600 inside=0 logmap=862 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000ELgDKfBIfAHe9Fd7Dd6Cc5Ac38b27b15a04a15_1\ 5Z15Y26X26W26V37U37T37S47R48P48O58N59M59L69K69J6AI\ 7AH7AG79E88D97CA6BA5AA49A38A27A16A05A04A03A02A01A0\ 0000j8Ii9KhALhAMeBQbBU_BYXBaUBeRBiOBlVdUa_YgV`ZVLR\ V6SU8TT9USAUSBVRCWQDWQEXPFYOGYOH_JMaFRbAWd6`e2dZ9f\ SGgMNiFUj9`kFZgLXdRWaXUZbSWgRTh_OhgJioEiw900000003\ 00600800A0090090A90E90H95K8AN8FQ8KT8PW8UZ7Za7XdAZg\ C_jE`mGbpIcsKdiPi`TmSYrJavAezCbzE_zGXzHUzJRzLOzMLz\ OIzQFzRCzT9zV6zW3zY4wZ5u`5sa6pb6nd7le8ig8gh9ei9bkA\ `lBZnBWoCUpCSlFTiITfKUbNU_PUXSVTVVQXWN_WJaWGdXDgX9\ iY6lY3nYJqJZt5Tk4Oc4JW4EN39F3473FH4Qa5`d6ko7uz8uxB\ uwDuvGuuIutLusNurQuqSupVuoXunZqi`mebiadfXfbThZPjAA\ lSGnOCpK8rH4sJ6oK7kL9gNAdOC`PDXQEUSGQTHMUJIWKFXMBY\ N7ZO4aP6dQ8fRAiSClTDnUFqVHtWJvXKXZF7`BKTFXMJiFNv8R\ xQJygBzx4wv5uu5st5qs5nr5lq5jp5ho5fn5cm5al5_k5Yj5Wi\ 5Xh6Xh7Yh8Yg9ZgAZgB_gC_wB } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
