I have been here every ; day for almost 18 years, and I have no intention of going away ; in the foreseeable future. Fractals are simply too much fun. ; ; Today's, or perhaps I should say this fortnight's, fractal lies ; in the Mandeloid that comes about when 2 negative parts of ; Z^(-1.9) are combined with 1 negative part of Z^(-4.5) and (1/Z) ; is added on each iteration to produce a sprawling parent fractal ; with a large but distorted Mandeloid minibrot at the center. ; Today's scene lies on a filament extending from a sub-bud of a ; large bud on the northeast shore line of the main bay of the ; distorted Mandeloid. ; ; I named the image "Kaleidoscope" because of the rich colors. I ; gave it an artistic value of 8 and a math value of 6. The image ; calculates in 1-1/3 minutes . . . that is if anyone still ; bothers to calculate parameter files by hand. And a trip to the ; web sites can remove the task of calculation. ; ; To avoid calculation, check the web sites at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; The temperature rose from a morning low of -6F -21C to an ; afternoon high of 9F -13C here at Fractal Central today, though ; the brilliant sun cut a bit of the chill, at least in the spots ; sheltered from the wind. The fractal cats must have found the ; window shelf too drafty, since they settled in the stray patches ; of sunlight falling on the floor. The fractal humans made it ; through the day glad that the heat is working. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted when I get a round tuit. Until ; whenever, take care, and I hear that some so-called climate ; scientists are claiming that the present extreme cold is a ; result of Arctic warming caused by man-made climate change. ; They might convince idealistic but ignorant progressives, who ; really do care about the earth, but as for me, I know a money- ; backed political agenda when I see one. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Kaleidoscope { ; time=0:01:20.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+1.999621640252/+0.034880316975/1e+007/\ 1/-15/0 params=-2/-1.9/-1/-4.5/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=75 periodicity=6 colors=00000M00L00K00J00I00H00F00E00D00C00B00A0090\ 08007006005004003002001_zzzr0Vqmmj0Qiccb0L`UUV0GTK\ PPGBLGJI07H9AAAAAA9azhVz8YrcSm7VmZPc6SfUMX5PYPIT4M\ TPFM3JKKCH3GFE9D2CBA68196534062zRhzPemOcgM`dLZbJX_\ IUXHSUFQRENPCLMBIJ9GG8ED7BB59847524212fJ1bH0_G0XE0\ UD0RC0OA0L90I80F60C50940620310te5qc4oa4l_4jZ4hX3eV\ 3cT3aS3ZQ3XO2UM2SL2QJ2NH2LF1JE1GC1EA1B819707504302\ 10OdZMaWKZUJWSHUPGRNEOLCLIBJG9GE8DBojaojaoiaoiapha\ ph`pg`pg`pg`pf`pf_pe_qe_qd_qd_qcZqcZqbZqbZqbZo_WmY\ UkVSiTPCRXDQYEPYFPYFOYGNYHNYIMYILYJLYKKYLJYLJZMIZN\ HZOHZOGZPFZQFZREZRDZSDZTCZTCZSHXSLVRPTRTRRXPTYRVYT\ XYUZYW`ZXbZZdZ_fZah_bj_dl_en_gp`hr`jt`kv`mw`nuaotc\ orhoqmopronvomzokzojzoizogzpfzpdzpczpbzp`zp_zpZzpX\ zpWzpUzqTzqSzqQzqPzqNzqMzqLzqJzzIzzHzzKzzNzzQzzTzz\ WzzYzz`zzczzfzzizzkzzjzzizzhzzgzzfzzezzdzzczzbzzaz\ z`zz_zzZzzYzzXzzWzzVzzUzz } 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 ; https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
