FOTD 12-03-07 (FOTD for Mar-12-07 [No Rating)
by Jim Muth 12 Mar '07

FOTD -- March 12, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's brilliant but otherwise unexceptional image lies in the parent fractal that comes into being when equal portions of Z^(1.5) and Z^(3.5) are combined and C is added. This parent fractal resembles a plump caterpillar crawling southward. Today's image is located on the northwest shoreline of the main open area of its parent, which corresponds to the caterpillar's plump abdominal section. Since the fractal is unexceptional, I gave it no name and no rating. The brilliant colors can carry the humdrum image only so far. The calculation time of 7-1/3 minutes is a bit on the slow side for an image of today's worth. But instant relief is available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the completed image is or soon will be posted, ready for semi-awe-struck viewing. A bright and slightly chilly day here at Fractal Central on Sunday brought the fractal cats to the window, where they enjoyed the sunlight for several hours. The outside temperature of 48F 9C left the comfortably resting cats unconcerned. My day was busy, but I have seen far worse days. It still looks like the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours as scheduled. Until then, take care, and be at ease among the countless horde of fractals.

11 Mar '07

FOTD -- March 11, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: This version has the correct, souped up color palette for today's image. I forgot to insert it in the first version. There was no FOTD for March 10 because I had no time to create one. But today's FOTD, which resembles a fantastic undersea creature, should more than make up for the lapse. Today's image came about when I added 0.2 part of Z^2 to Z^(-2). This formula creates the outline of a Mandelbrot set, which is filled with debris, and this debris in turn is filled with smaller M-sets. Today's image was found in the negative X-axis area of the large Mandelbrot outline. I declined to name or rate the image, but its calculation time of under 3 minutes should make the job of running the included parameter file, if not a pleasure, at least not a chore. Even more time may be saved by checking in at the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and viewing the completed image there. A rather chilly but otherwise pleasant partly sunny day with a high temperature of 46F 8C here at Fractal Central on Saturday went totally unappreciated by the fractal cats, who, in keeping with their fractal nature, appeared to be in several places at once. The light rain that set in by evening was no problem. Their big excitement came just before noon, when Cassie spotted an intruding cat walking down the sidewalk beside the house. Somehow, Nico knew at once that she had seen something, and he rushed to the window to see for himself. But while nico was rushing, the intruder finished his business and went on his way. My day was continued busy. Tomorrow looks to be the same. But unless something drastic comes up, the next FOTD will appear as scheduled in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and wait for the light with abated breath.

GIF File format

Where in a Fract???.gif file does the Fractint data appear? I have a question and want to be on sound ground before I raise it. All I can identify is that the file starts with GIF98a and near the end there is a little plain text that is "fractint001 Fractal" with the space actually being y with an umlaut over it. Nothing else identifiable as plain text. The point I particularly want to know about is how the V screen parameters are included. My Fractint computer had a disastrous breakdown a couple of months ago and am trying to recover and also evaluate ver 99. I ran across a floppy disk that was labeled "Problems" and am passing along one of them. Here is my Newpar.par file which includes the formula. The original parameter file was run on Fractint 99 and then recorded again. It doesn't show as much of the problem that showed originally but as you zoom in amazing things happen. At some magnifications the apparent high count areas disappear and at other magnifications they are massively messed up. Start parameter file.

FOTD 09-03-07 (FOTD for Mar-09-07 [Rating 7)
by Jim Muth 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

FOTD -- March 09, 2007 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's totally mixed-up scene lies in the parent fractal that results when negative portions of Z^(1.4142) and Z^(-1.4142) are combined and (1/C) is added. This parent fractal somewhat resembles a stone-age arrowhead, but in this case the arrowhead is filled with midgets and other holes of the most bizarre shape. The image is located in the center of the arrowhead, very close to the X-axis. All works of art should have a theme, but if today's image has a theme, it is very well hidden indeed. The picture is totally indescribable, filled with zig-zags and bubbling eruptions, as well as midgets scattered freely in all directions. With such discombobulation before me, I had no chance at all of thinking of a name, so I let the image go with merely a catalog listing. I did give it a rating however. I decided on a rating of 7, mostly because the image sets a new standard for fractal disor- ganization. The included parameter file runs in 8-1/2 minutes on my tired, worn-out 10-year-old P200 computer. The image downloads from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> in far less time. A rather pleasant though chilly day, with a temperature of 34F 1C here at Fractal Central on Thursday was fully appreciated by the fractal cats, who found a shaft of sunlight coming through the living room window and basked for two hours. Their biggest complaint was that the sunlight kept moving. My biggest complaint was that the work is still far from being caught up. But as the resumption of the FOTD shows, things are improving. If they keep improving, the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and then wonder what you took care about.

FOTD -- Match 08, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: For today's fractal I checked to see what happens when a tiny bit of (1/Z) is added to the classic Mandelbrot set. I found that the M-set is distorted, particularly in the area of the period-2 bud and farther out along the X-axis. Today's slightly awesome scene is located just off the X-axis in the distorted area of this parent. In keeping with tradition, I gave the image neither name nor rating. It deserves neither. But its calculation requires only a brief 2-3/4 minutes, which keeps it from being a total waste of effort. The most efficient way to see the image is to visit the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the image is posted, and enjoy it there. Wednesday began with a temperature of 12F -11C and light snow here at Fractal Central. By noon the snow had ended, the sun had appeared and the temperature had reached 28F -2C. By 5pm the sun had melted most of the new snow and dried the streets. The fractal cats noticed none of this. They were more interes- ted in keeping warm. My day was very busy. Unless something totally unexpected happens, the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be one with the elements.

FOTD 07-03-07 (FOTD for Mar-07-07 [No Rating)
by Jim Muth 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

FOTD -- March 07, 2007(No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a scene in the same parent fractal that held yesterday's FOTD. The coloring obviously leaves a bit to be desired, but the image is still an interesting one to see. And the calculation time of under one minute means little time will be lost if the result proves to be not worth the effort. With such a hasty fractal, I could find neither name nor rating. The completed GIF image is or soon will be available on the FOTD web site, which may be accessed at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Today turned out exactly like I assumed it would in yesterday's FOTD, which I wrote a day early, intending to post it as the FOTD for March 7. The near-frantic rush here at F.C. finally appears to be past its peak, but the backlog is still pretty large, so a daily FOTD schedule is unlikely for a couple weeks yet. But occasional FOTD's will continue to appear, the next of which could be as soon as tomorrow. Until next time, take care, and see you then.

FOTD 06-03-07 (Kaleidoscope View [No Rating)
by Jim Muth 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

FOTD -- March 06, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The big rush continues here at Fractal Central, but despite having so little spare time, I did manage to find a fractal. Unfortunately, with almost no effort put into the image, I could not give it a rating. The parent fractal, a rather distorted M-set, came about when, on a whim, I added the tiniest bit of Z^(-5) to Z. I named the scene I found within this parent fractal "Kaleidoscope View". These simple devices gave me many hours of pleasure when I was in my wonder years. (I now wonder where those years went.) The included parameter file runs in under 3 minutes. The image itself downloads even faster from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A bitterly cold late winter day here at Fractal Central on Tues- day, with a high temperature of 21F -6C, held outside activity to a minimum. But the cold caused no problems for man or cats, since all the activity was indoors. The next FOTD will appear as soon as I can get to it, most likely in a day or two. Until then, take care and stop for a rest when needed.

FOTD 05-03-07 (Alien Desert Vista [No Rating)
by Jim Muth 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

FOTD -- March 05, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Things are still barely under control here at Fractal Central, but I somehow managed to find time for one minor unrated fractal image -- an image with not a single midget. The image might be called a study in stretching, since it has been stretched about 10 times in the vertical direction. The result reminds me of a landscape in southern Arizona, in the area where those giant cactuses (cacti if you will) grow. But the colors are nothing like anything I have ever seen in an earthly desert. This desert can only exist on an alien planet, thus the name "Alien Desert Vista". The un-impressive parent fractal was created by mixing Z^(1.8) with an equal part of Z^(-0.1) and adding straight (C). The calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes is brief enough to make the job of rendering the image almost a pleasure. But if pleasure is hard to come by, the pre-calculated image is available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Sunday turned out mostly cloudy with occasional light flurries of snow here at Fractal Central. The temperature of 36F 2C caused the snow to melt on contact, but the flakes drifting past the fractal cats' window gave them a bit of amusement. In my department the work is still barely under control. Two more weeks of hectic activity should bring things in line however. Until then the FOTD will appear on an occasional basis, with the next installment likely later this week. Until next time, take care, and enjoy heartily.
