[Fractint] FOTD 07-03-06 (No Name Or Rating)

      FOTD -- March 07, 2006 (No Rating)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

I really enjoy fractal trees, and today's image is a fine 
example of a fractal tree.  Actually, the image shows part of a 
'figure 8' Julia set of the Z^(1.5)+C Mandeloid as it appears 
PI levels *down* the log ladder.

The same image could be calculated in a little over half the 
time by the 'JuliaMiN' formula, since setting the p2 parameter 
of the JuliaBC formula to minus-PI is the same as calculating 
(-Z)^(1.5)+C, which is what the JuliaMiN formula does.  But 
under 4 minutes is not too unreasonable a time to wait for a 
tree to grow, so I let the JuliaBC formula do the job.

As has been the case so often recently, I gave the image no name 
and no rating.  If I had named and rated it, I would have chosen 
a name something like "Monkey Puzzle Tree" and a rating around 
6.  These fractal trees are far too plentiful and far too easily 
found to rate much higher.

For the benefit of time-pressed fractalists, the finished GIF 
image is available for viewing on the FOTD web site at:

A partly cloudy chilly day with the threat of rain or snow kept 
the fractal cats safely indoors all day Monday here at Old 
Fractal Central.  A bit of extra tuna kept them happy.  My day 
was continued busy, but somehow we managed to keep things under 
control.  Unless something unexpected happens, the next FOTD 
will appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and what ever 
happened to rock-solid reality?
