A busy day but even on the busiest days an exploration of the good ole mandelbrot will
show something worth posting.

I choose today's fractal for it's bright colors.
It is almost but not quite a mandlebrot-a pseudobrot.

FOTD -- May 01, 2010 (Rating 9.25)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
NEW FORMULA ALERT!
Today's formula, FinDivBrot-2, is a new one. Actually, it's
nothing more than a slight simplification of the FinalDivideBrot
formula that eliminates some redundant minus signs and the
awkward 0.00000...1 that was added to the imag(p1) parameter in
the FinalDivideBrot, but had become extra baggage carried over
from even earlier versions. The speed increase is insignificant
if it exists at all, but the new formula certainly does look
more compact and pleasing on the screen. The FinalDivideBrot
formula is compatible with the new FinDivBrot-2 formula if the
sign of the imag(p1) parameter is changed.
There is no error in the rating of a 9.25 that I gave today's
image. If I had actually created the colors from scratch, I
might have rated it a 9.75 or even an exalted 10. As it is,
with the program-created colors, the image is still, IMO, one
of the best in FOTD history, and well worth its rating.
The name "Lilacs in Bloom" refers to the colors of the lilacs
blooming beside the front door of FC at this time of year.
The parent fractal is strange indeed. It is little more than a
circle with only hints of a fractal nature on its west side. In
fact, if imag(p1) is reduced any significant amount at all, the
entire parent disappears, leaving only a blank screen consisting
of inside stuff. The ghost of the parent does still exist in
this blank screen however, and can be made visible by rendering
the scene with the inside set to an active inside fill, as I do
with the 'evaporated' images, but in this case, the ghost image
holds nothing worthwhile.
The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is just about the FOTD
normal.
The finished image is available on the FOTD web site at:
<http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
The high temperature of 82F 28C and the hot sun here at Fractal
Central on Friday got no response at all from the fractal cats.
As long the inside conditions are within their comfort range,
they couldn't care less about the outside conditions. But
except for those doing heavy work in the sun, Friday was near
perfect.
My day was within reason, which is reasonable enough. The next
FOTD is due in 24 hours. As experience shows however, the Sat-
urday images are frequently delayed by an unexpected antiquing
trip. Until whenever, take care, and enjoy all FOTD fractals,
even the handicapped ones.
