######################################################################## This is a zoom into Lee Skinner's Dumbell.gif from the Fractal Creations 2nd Ed CD. Thanks again for the copy of the CD, Tim! The color map is from the image "Leather Gem" by Damascena Korwen, an entry in the Fractal-Art 1998 Contest: http://www.fractalus.com/contest98/entries/09-013.htm When I rotated the color map approximately 96 steps at a time I could watch the 'medallions' ('eyes' with spirals in them) be highlighted in the ring of 16 'eyes', then 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, and then 1024 'eyes' in a 1024 x 768 version of the image. I like to trace this 'period doubling' of features as they approach the Mandelbrot set. Btw, does anyone know if it has been determined if these miniature Mandelbrot Sets are exact copies of the full size Mandelbrot Set? - Hal Lane ######################### # hallane@earthlink.net # ######################### =================== FRACTINT PAR ===================== Medallion_Weave { ; Zoom by Hal Lane into Lee Skinner's Dumbell.gif - ; from the Fractal Creations 2nd Ed CD. ; Color map from "Leather Gem" by Damascena Korwin - ; an entry in the Fractal Art 98 contest. ; Version 2002 Patchlevel 5 reset=1720 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=+0.25372693451716730/+0.00036640736338332/4.538746e+011/1/-37\ .5009262932441132/0.000734303369271584183 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=100000 inside=0 sound=off colors=000IbLJdMKfNLhM<5>bmDenBhoA<3>ts3wt1sr2<5>Zf8Vd9SbA<3>DVF<4>CPCCN\ BCMA<2>BI9BH8BH8<3>AE79D6DE6<3>UI9YJAaLBeMCgODjQF<9>tgGuiGvjG<2>ypGzrFzr\ K<3>yufxukxvqwww<3>rhh`F0`F0<5>UA0T90S80R80Q70P60<3>L30K30J20I10I10<16>U\ B2UB2VC2<3>YE3<3>Q82O61M41<3>Q71R81S91fM5<3>iO5jP5kQ6<9>UB3S92Q82<3>I109\ 31A00<3>VK0_P0dU0<3>zm0<3>zb0z_0zX0zU0<3>`F0UC0O80H40<2>A4773A73C<3>56K4\ 7M48O39Q2AS<8>9QaASbATc<3>E`hFbiGdi<3>JklKmmJkj<7>CURBSOAQM<3>6GB5E86G9<\ 12>H`K } =================== FRACTINT PAR ===================== ######################################################################## --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
