FOTD -- January 07, 2007 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is an 'evaporated' fractal, in which all points on the screen are trapped. Fractals with negative exponents of 'Z' can be evaporated by raising the bailout radius to an outrageous level, such as the googol of today's image. With such an ex- treme bailout, no points can escape, but the points do some very interesting things even as they remain trapped. The more active 'inside' options such as 'bof61' can reveal the otherwise hidden activities of the trapped points. The center midget is almost invisible, its inside being surrounded by 'inside' stuff. I named the image "Evaporated Fractal" because that's what it is. I rated it at a 7 because I consider it above average. The render time of 8-1/2 minutes could seem to be dragging in some situations. Those who are impatient to see the finished image may download it, before it evaporates totally, from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Lots of sun and a temperature of 66F 19C made Saturday near perfect. The fractal cats responded with near-perfect behavior, passing most of the day gazing wistfully out the window. My day was about average. The next FOTD, which hopefully will be above average, will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and stride on the light side.
