Subject: (fractint) FOTD  19-11-01  (Mystical Vision [6])

FOTD -- November 19, 2001 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Knights of old were brave and strong (puissant).  They passed
their days roaming the countryside doing good deeds, protecting
the weak, defending the kingdom, and hoping for a mystical
vision of the holy grail.

I have no idea how many knights actually experienced such a
vision, but when I saw today's image, it reminded me of a vision
of the Mandelbrot set hovering in the sky.  With only a moment's
consideration, I named the image "Mystical Vision".

The formula behind the image, whose parameters I entered at
random, produces a reasonably undistorted Mandelbrot set lying
in the normal orientation and surrounded by a cloud of
disconnected areas of chaos.  Today's midget lies in one of
these areas located just to the north of the main stem, about
2/3 of the way out to the tip.

After a brief moment of thought, I rated the image, with the
hook-like features surrounding the midget, at a 6.  On second
thought, perhaps I should change that to a 6-1/2.  The short
render time of around 2 minutes takes much of the effort out of
running the attached parameter file.  No, we'll keep it a 6,
because depending on the efficiency of the connection,
downloading the GIF image can be even less of a task.  The GIF
image can be found at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and at:

          <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>

The weather today here at Fractal central turned just the
slightest chilly, with a warm sun, but a temperature that rose
only to 57F 14C.  The two cats of the fractal variety enjoyed
the limited perfection to the utmost of their ability, sleeping
several hours in their favorite porch chairs.

I've got a bit of work to get done before noon, so I'd best get
started on it.  But in 24 hours I'll be back with the next in
the long string of fractals.  Until next time, take care, and
I'll see you then.

Subject: (fractint) FOTD  20-11-01  (Charming a Midget [3])

FOTD -- November 20, 2001 (Rating 3)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Another very busy day left me almost no time for fractalling.
But, despite the overwhelming odds, I found a fractal anyway.

When I need a quick fractal I usually turn to Fractint's speedy
Mandel formula, which draws only the Mandelbrot set, but does it
in impressive time.  The one-minute-plus time of today's image
is a prime example of this formula's speed.

The little midget in today's image is located in a second-order
valley on the north shore of the fourth bud along the negative
X-axis.  Given more care in its coloring, the scene might rate a
5 or 6, but with almost no time to spare, I had to go with the
colors I came up with in a hurry.

The name "Charming a Midget" came to mind when I noticed the
curved features around the midget, which resemble cobras arched
and swaying, being charmed by the snake charmer playing his
music.  (Actually, it's the charmer's movements that charm the
cobra.  Snakes are deaf.)

The dismal rating of 3 is not much to be proud of, but I have
had worse.  And as is appropriate for an image of little value,
the parameter file runs in little time.  In fact, with a render
time of just over one minute, the parameter file is quicker than
the download, which can be found on Paul's web site at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and Scott's site at:

          <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>

The fractal weather today once again made the cats happy.  They
showed their approval of the 61F 16C temperature and sunshine by
frolicking in the yard like a pair of kittens.  The fact that
they haven't been kittens for quite a few years bothered them
none at all.

That's it for now fractal fans.  But I'll return again tomorrow
with another fractal and a few words about it.  Until next time,
take care, and you'll find the answer in the fractal cookbook.

Are you sure of this being the correct rendering time for this image at

Yes.  The image takes one and one-half minutes on my machine, using standard
math.  If you find a time more like 1/2 hour, you must be in arbitrary math
mode.

Ahh.. that was it.  Did not bother checking before sending the email
reply.  It had taken about 5-1/2 minutes on my machine, and about
a 1/2 minute on Scott's.  Thought maybe it was the cold front that
slowed my machine this morning.    ;-}

Thanks. That... um... worked. Now I just gotta figure out how to... er...
interpret the text file that it produced. Any tips on how you have used this
feature in the past? What did you use it with? Any easy way of just whacking
this straight into a particular music program or do you need to translate
and program in each parameter? I'd be interested in hearing what you did
with it if you got anything downloadable from the web.

Subject: (fractint) FOTD  21-11-01  (The Wine Dark Basin [7])

FOTD -- November 21, 2001 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today, I entered parameters into the MandelbrotMix4 formula
which produce a grossly oversized parent fractal consisting
mostly of filaments that terminate in loops shaped like lima
beans.  So bloated is this fractal that several complete
outzooms are needed before the whole thing fits on the screen.

Today's scene lies on one of these filaments, at the point where
the filament is about to join its terminating lima bean.  And
indeed, as is almost always the case, the midget at the center,
with its surrounding pattern of filaments and lima beans,
reflects the nature of the area of the parent fractal in which
it is found.

I named the image "The Wine Dark Basin" not to imitate classic
literature, but because of the wine-like color of the area
surrounding the midget.  I emphasized this dark red by edging it
with bright green.  As a result of the colors, I found myself
able to rate the image at an above-average 7 -- quite a come-up
from yesterday's hurried 3 rating.

A close examination of the image will reveal a slight raggedness
along the sharply-defined edges.  This is the beginning of loss
of resolution, which appears in today's fractal at the
relatively low magnitude of 10^9.  Breakdown appears at such a
low magnitude because the huge size of the parent fractal has
shifted the decimal point rather than increased the range of
resolution.

The parameter file renders in 7-1/2 minutes on my tired old
Pentium 200 mhz machine.  Compared to the 'good old days' of
fractalling, this is fast, but an even faster way of viewing the
image is to download it from Paul's web site at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

or Scott's site at:

          <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>

Today (Tuesday) here at Fractal Central, the weather was
fall-like, with brisk winds, falling temperatures, tortured
clouds, and flurries of drifting leaves.  Since we're getting
well along into Autumn, such conditions are normal for this part
of the world.  But the fractal cats don't care about normalcy --
they want comfort.  Unfortunately, after trying every door, they
found no outdoor comfort today, so they sulked indoors all
afternoon.  They cheered up temporarily when I shared my junk
food with them, but soon resumed their sulky attitudes.

If I don't finish the day's tasks, I'll have sulky customers on
the phone, and sulky customers are even worse than sulky cats.
So I'd best get started.  Until next time, take care, and
meditate on a fractal mantra.

This is a little controversy I am maintaining about the Csound manual, as

Subject: (fractint) FOTD  22-11-01  (The Lima Beans [7])

FOTD -- November 22, 2001 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Last evening, Lee Skinner posted a parameter file that showed a
nearly but not quite symmetrical part of the parent fractal of
yesterday's 'Winedark' FOTD.  Lee's image is filled with a
network of twisting, interconnected filaments and lima beans,
and is well worth a look.

While enjoying Lee's image, I almost immediately noticed the
signs of a hidden midget on its left side.  Today's image is a
zoom into that midget.  But unlike yesterday's image, where I
could ignore the beans, in today's image the eight lima-bean-
shaped features surrounding the midget are so prominent that
they can not be escaped.  In recognition of the beans I named
the image "The Lima Beans."

A bit of the wine-darkness of yesterday's image is still evident
in today's, where it appears as the striking dark blue shield
surrounding the midget.  Since so much of yesterday's image has
been carried over into today's image, I also carried the rating,
and rated today's image at a 7.

On my old worn-out machine, the render time of the attached
parameter file is 4-1/2 minutes.  Since it will take about the
same amount of time to go online and download the finished image
from the internet, it is up to the viewer which route to take to
enjoy the scene.

The finished GIF image can be found on the W.W.Web at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

and at:

          <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>

With lots of sun, little wind, and a temperature of 50F 10C, the
weather today here at Fractal Central was fractal in nature.  Of
course, weather is always fractal in nature, or else I would not
include it as a regular part of the Fractal Of The Day.  And the
cats who were indifferent about the day's weather are also
fractal in nature, or they wouldn't be included either.

As for me -- I'm fractal also.

Today is the Thanksgiving holiday here in the USA, the day when
everyone gives thanks in their own way for any good things that
might have happened to them over the past year.  If not much
good happened, they give thanks for all the bad that might have
happened but did not.

The lucky express their thanks by visiting friends and
relatives, and enjoying a huge meal centered around a turkey.
The unlucky, having invited their friends and relatives, must
prepare the huge meals.  Having been persuaded to go visiting, I
fall into the category of the reluctant lucky.

Until next time, take care, and be thankful that we have found
fractals.

Jim,

I didn't post anything to the lists yesterday!  What I did was to send yo=
u
a private e-mail.  But I'll be glad to post it to the lists here:

  In this zoom into today's FOTD's parent image, the image at first looks=

mostly somewhat symmetrical.  But there at least half a dozen midgets on
the left side that have no corresponding midget on the right side!  I
thought this was interesting.

What about the left side produces the midgets, and what about the right

My mistake.  Thanks for the correction.  There would have been a lot of
puzzled fractal fans searching for a phantom fractal.

Subject: (fractint) FOTD  23-11-01  (What Mandelbrot [6])

FOTD -- November 23, 2001 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

After a festival Thanksgiving day, I'm rushed this morning, but
not so much that I must forget my FOTD.  But I must write
hurriedly, which is the reason for the abruptness.

Today's image is a scene on a side branch of a filament
extending northwest from the 4th of 5th bud (I forget which) on
the X-axis of the large midget on the negative stem of the
Mandelbrot set.  I named the image "What Mandelbrot" for reasons
that I have now forgotten.

Though I normally subtract a point or two from the worth of
midgets that I find in the classic Mandelbrot set, today's
midget still rates a 6, which is a bit above average.

The scene is in the magnitude range where conventional math
switches to arbitrary math, and can be rendered either using
either math routine.  Arbitrary precision math gives a slightly
better rendering, but takes almost 100 times as long, at least
on my machine.

The big decision of which math to use when rendering can be
avoided by letting Paul and Scott make the decision and
downloading the finished image from the web site of one of them.
Paul's site is at:

          <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

Scott's is at:

          <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>

The fractal weather today (Thursday) was nondescript.  What is
to tell about a day with partly cloudy skies and normal
temperatures of 52F 16C?  The fractal cats, who love turkey, had
a nondescript day until I returned from the turkey dinner with
a generous supply of leftover turkey.  Then their day turned
happy.

Since Thursday was a holiday and today is Friday, I have much
catch-up work to do.  Now is the time to start if I hope to
finish before evening.  Until tomorrow, take care, and what
ever happened to Doctor J.?
