Spend the week trying to find where minibrot was hiding, i even did it on paper with a pen to make sure i understand the probleme. <schrink> my formulation to a minimum, and here it is, the first minibrot i ever do.

FOTD 22-05-12 (Ultraviolet Sunrise [7.5])
by Jim Muth 22 May '12

22 May '12

FOTD -- May 22, 2012 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a step backward -- to a rating of a 7-1/2. This rating is a true 7-1/2. The extra half-point is not a self-awarded bonus for the coloring, which was created by the Fractint program, with only a minimum of tweaking by me. The scene lies in the parent fractal that was created when I combined 1.75 parts of Z^(2.5) with 2.5 parts of Z^(-2) on each iteration before adding straight C. This parent fractal is little more than scattered fractal debris, with one prominent but small Mandeloid on the X-axis and a large hour-glass shaped field of debris to its west. Today's scene is located in this hour-glass firld. The image's effect was achieved by rendering it with the outside set to 'tdis'. For some reason I chose the name "Ultraviolet Sunrise", though I doubt that any star could possibly be hot enough to shine only in the ultraviolet range. Despite it's average rating, the image is well worth a look, and the speedy calculation time of 15 seconds will make the effort hardly noticeable. The image may be seen with no effort at all on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> It may be seen in high definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the past FOTD images are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Today was mostly cloudy but rather pleasant here at Fractal Central, with just enough breaks in the clouds to let us know that the sun was still up there. The temperature of 77F 25C was hard to beat. The fractal cats had an active day, getting into a tussle over their play cube. The humans' day was active also, doing everyday things. The next FOTD will be posted in the not too distant future. Until next time, take care, and getting impressions from the future is impossible, yet it does happen.

FOTD 21-05-12 (Beast With 1500 Iterations [9])
by Jim Muth 21 May '12

21 May '12

FOTD -- May 21, 2012 (Rating 9) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image rates a 9. In my opinion it is worth it. I have rarely seen a FOTD fractal image with such a solid-looking ring filling such a large part of the frame. With perhaps a bit too much exaggeration, I named it "Beast With 1500 Iterations". The parent fractal is a moth-eaten series of bays and other assorted open areas that came about when I subtracted 0.3 parts of Z^(2.5) from 0.6 part of Z^(-1.5) and added straight C on each iteration. The most obvious feature of this parent is a twisted Mandeloid at its the northern end, with the northern side of the main bud connecting into another, even more distorted, Mandeloid, which does not appear to be critical. Today's scene is located in what I take to be the southern branch of Seahorse Valley of the northern Mandeloid. The striking effect of solidity in today's image was created by rendering the scene with the inside set to 'tdis' followed by careful coloring. For some reason I declined to award myself the usual half-point bonus for extra effort on the coloring. A rating of 9 is exceptional enough as it is, however. The name was inspired by those junky old horror movies that I still enjoy watching. They lacked the super-computerized special-effect explosions, but made up for it by being so bad that they were actually good. The calculation time of 2-1/4 minutes may not pass in a flash, but it will certainly pass in two flashes. The flashing may be eliminated by viewing the finished image on the web sites. The glorious completed image is at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A more glorious hi-def rendering is at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Total glory lies at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> where all the FOTD's are posted. The day brought lots of clouds with a few breaks of sun, as well as occasional periods of light rain to Fractal Central. The temperature of 72F 22C was within a few degrees of normal, making for a satisfactory day. The day was also satisfactory for the fractal cats, who watched birds, chased each other up and down the fractal hallway, fought over the collapsible cat cube, and asked for an extra treat. With all else going well, the fractal humans had nothing to complain about. The next FOTD will be posted in the near future. Only time will tell if it goes well. Until next time, take care, and we think, therefore we might or might not be real.

FOTD 20-05-12 (Land of Laughter [8])
by Jim Muth 21 May '12

21 May '12

FOTD -- May 20, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: There was no FOTD for May 19. The reason is that FL and I went on an antiquing expedition down to York, PA, where we found little of interest. We reaped no benefits and were totally exhausted when we returned, which gave a good excuse for taking it easy the rest of the evening. Today's image takes us back again to the parent fractal of the May 6 image. This time we examine the western edge of the large debris field on the west side of the main bay. We went quite deep, to a magnitude of over 7*(10^12), before we found today's scene, which at least in my opinion rates an 8. The name "Land of Laughter" has nothing to do with a good time, since the image uses much the same dark gloomy color palette as the image of May 18. The name is what came to mind when I turned off my thinking apparatus and let instinct take its course. Find the finished image online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition rendering is online at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The entire FOTD history is available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The calculation time of 1-5/6 minutes is reasonable if not fireball fast. The fireball fast view is available on the FOTD web sites. With total sunshine and a temperature of 86F 30C, today was one of the all-time best here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats showed their approval by stretching out on the carpet. The humans just took it easy. The next FOTD will be posted when it gets posted, most likely in a day or so. Until then, take care, and they say on the scare shows that the world will end in 5-billion years. What a relief. I thought it was 5-million years.

Re: [Fractint] FOTD 18-05-12 (Jewel of the West [9])
by Jim Muth 19 May '12

19 May '12

FOTD -- May 18, 2012 (Rating 9) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Due to time pressure, today's discussion will be brief. Today's very dark and somber image returns us once again to the parent fractal of May 6. This time we check a small disconnec- ted spot of interest in the far distant southwestern suburbs of the main body of the parent. Today's image shows what I found there. The rating of a 9 might be exaggerated, but I really enjoy dark and gloomy stuff like we see in today's image, so I decided on the exceptionally high rating of a 9. The name "Jewel of the West" indicates that the image lies west of the main body of the parent fractal. The surrounding darkness also makes the more brilliant inner part appear more jewel-like. The very brief calculation time of only 40 seconds will take some of the gloom out of the image. The web sites may remove almost all of the gloominess. The official FOTD web site is online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> The high definition renderings of the images are at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the back images are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Today's weather here at Fractal central was absolutely perfect, with a totally clear sky and temperature of 75F 24C. The fractal cats were also perfect, doing everything that perfect cats should do. Actually, being indoor cats, they don't have the chance to get into trouble like the old fractal cats did back at Old Fractal Central. The humans had an equally satisfactory day. The next FOTD will be posted soon. The exact time depends on the meaning of the word soon. Until then, take care, and would the person who has actually seen an actual atom please stand up.

FOTD 17-05-12 (Wisp in the Night [7])
by Jim Muth 17 May '12

17 May '12

FOTD -- May 17, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the parent fractal of the FOTD for May 6th, (The Birth of Light), which came about when I combined different portions of Z^(1.23) and Z^(-1.32) before adding straight C on each iteration. This parent is shaped like a kidney bean, with a moth-eaten northern half. The image is located in an area of chaos extending from a small bud on the eastern shore line of the southern lobe of the main bay of the parent fractal. I named the image "Wisp in the Night", a rather ghostly name befitting an image created by numbers, which are nothing more than ghosts in the night anyway. I rated it at only a 7 because to me the bright orangish colors of the outer parts give very little impression of a night scene. A deep blue would have been more appropriate, but I had no time to find a good one. The whole fractal takes 1-1/4 minutes to calculate, a very tiny span when compared to the age of the universe, which the last I heard was still 13.7 billion years, give or take a few. Luckily for all concerned fractalists, the image is available on the web sites. The pre-rendered image is online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A hi-def rendering is at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the back FOTD's are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Total sun and a temperature of 68F 20C made a near perfect though slightly cool day for mid-May here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats, self-appointed custodians of F.C., approved of the conditions as they settled to sleep for the afternoon. The humans had an average day, with nothing out of the ordinary to report. The next FOTD will be posted in the near future. Until then, take care, and I have never seen an alien space craft from outer space. Therefore alien space ships do not exist.

FOTD 16-05-12 (Almost But Not There [7])
by Jim Muth 17 May '12

17 May '12

FOTD -- May 16, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: While browsing through fractal neverland last evening, I wondered if the Z^(4.003)+C Mandeloid has Julia rectangles at the east edge of the split-apart main-stem minibrot similar to those found in the Z^(2.003)+C figure. I found no rectangles, but I did find today's curious scene, which I named "Almost But Not There". At first glance, the two minibrots appear to be perfect twins. A closer examination however reveals subtle differences. I leave it to the viewer to recognize these differences. Actually, the two minibrots do not lie as close together as first appears. A very prominent discontinuity cuts between them, which the flat colors in the outer area mostly conceal. The rating of a 7 might be a bit inflated. If the image had only one similar quartic minibrot, I would have consigned it to wherever computer files go when they are deleted. (Actually, the information becomes hopelessly scrambled, but it still ex- ists in the universe in a diffuse form, and could theoretically be recovered if we had the technology.) Luckily, the image is a very fast one. It finishes in a zippy 55 seconds, and on some new-fangled multi-processor units it could finish in less than half this time. The finished image will be posted online for all to enjoy at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> but for technical reasons, it will not be posted until tomorrow. For maximum enjoyment, a high-definition rendering is posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> and it will be available much sooner. The web site with all the past FOTD images is online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> and more images are posted there than could possibly be enjoyed in any single day. Today proved to be one of the best so far this spring here at Fractal Central, with lots of sun, puffy white clouds and a temperature of 82F 28C. Heavier clouds arrived in the evening, and a few drops of rain filtered down, but by then the day was already in the record books. The fractal cats had no trouble enjoying themselves to the utmost, keeping careful watch on a flock of birds that settled in the back yard. The humans were too busy with real work to enjoy the fine weather, but by the end of the day, the work was pretty much caught up. The next FOTD will be posted in the near future. Until then, take care, and if the objects we experience in dreams are made of thought instead of atoms, what then is thought made of?

FOTD 15-05-12 (Rectangle Vicinity [8])
by Jim Muth 16 May '12

16 May '12

FOTD -- May 15, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: With today's image we return to the Z^(2.003)+C Mandeloid and the 'rail-yard' area just east of the split-apart largest minibrot on the main spike, where a curious rectangle is found in some of the Julia sets as well as the Mandelbrot set. The rectangle does not appear in today's image, though many of the larger features of the Julia sets with the rectangle are quite apparent. The name "Rectangle Vicinity" simply describes the location of the scene in the Julibrot. The rating of an 8 shows that at the time I rated the image I considered it to be quite a fine one. However, there is no guarantee that my impression of the image's worth will remain unchanged forever. The perceived worth of fractal images has a way of improving or worsening with time. The calculation wait of 1-5/6 minutes will pass reasonably swiftly. Of course the image may always be seen on the web sites without the hassle of calculation. The finished image is posted at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition rendering is available at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the FOTD back images and discussions may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The rain continued through the night, but ended this morning, followed by slowly breaking clouds for the rest of the day, with a temperature of 72F 22C. The fractal cats, being totally inside cats, rarely concern themselves with weather, since it doesn't happen indoors. The indoor temperature and position of the sun is what they notice. Today was satisfactory for them. Clouds and rainy days are a bit of a downer for humans however, but with an operational sump pump and enough work to keep things busy, the FC humans had little time to worry about the weather. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and we need skeptics as well as true believers.

You can create a "poor man's animation" of...
by Hal Lane 15 May '12

15 May '12

I realized that you can create a "poor man's animation" of the 6 zooms I did into the parent of Jim Muth's May 14th, 2012 FOTD -- by putting them into 6 adjacent tabs in your browser and quickly stepping thru viewing each of them -- to see them morph as they "move" around the 10-lobed Mandeloid. (I only calculated zooms of 6 of the bays, since 4 of them appear to be mirror images of one another.) I put the following six images from my site: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html into the adjacent tabs. I suggest putting: F120514S.jpg in the leftmost tab - viewable by using <ctrl><1> F120514T.jpg in the adjacent tab - viewable by using <ctrl><2> etc. You can then hold down the <ctrl> key and type the number keys at the top of the keyboard without having to take your eyes away from your browser's "image subwindow." http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/F120514S.jpg http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/F120514T.jpg http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/F120514U.jpg http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/F120514V.jpg http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/F120514W.jpg http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/F120514X.jpg For the sharpest images, click each zoom once in its upper left corner to see it at its original size -- if your browser has re-sized and re-sampled it. On each recent month's web page I give complete instructions for how to do this procedure, and an historical note. The instructions are below the table of links to the images, labeled: "How to Compare Details of..." and are repeated below my signature block here. (The instructions are for comparing two images, but the idea extends to a maximum of nine images.) I'm sorry that the images aren't registered or scaled any better. When I was framing the individual zooms to calculate them, I didn't have an animation in mind. Let me know whether you were successful at doing this... - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## ================================================================ How to Compare Details of Anti-aliased and Non-anti-aliased Fractals: --------------------------------------------------------------------- This example pair of FOTD images shows some of the effects of anti-aliasing. Put the two different images: Original DOS Fractint 1200 x 900 pixel image: F120201.gif http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/F120201.gif Anti-aliased 1200 x 900 pixel version: F120201J.jpg http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/F120201J.jpg into adjacent tabs in your browser. I do this by right clicking each link above and choosing "Open link in new tab". If your browser has scaled the images down to fit your browser window, click the very upper-leftmost corner of each image once, to keep your browser from resampling (and possibly repositioning) the images. Then quickly alternate between viewing the images in their respective tabs. This lets you see where pixels have been changed by anti-aliasing quite clearly, by using the eye's sensitivity to motion. Many browsers accept the key combination <ctrl><n> to view their <n>th tab. This allows you to not have to move your gaze away from the images to aim your cursor at each of the two tabs to click on them. I'm able to hold down the <ctrl> key and alternately press the "3" and "4" keys (or wherever the two tab's locations are) to "blink" back and forth between viewing each of the two different images. The differences between the images literally jump out at you. Some differences from the Fractint original that I see in the anti-aliased version of the fractal are that: 1) The top vertically-stretched yellow crescent moon has become less jagged; 2) The black "speckles" in the green crescent -- inside the yellow crescent -- become a solid black band. 3) Stray single pixels' colors have been greatly muted. This sometimes changes the overall brightness of features when there are quite a few bright, single pixels in an area; 4) Many tiny features that were confused by stray pixels are now clearer. Other image pairs show additional effects of anti-aliasing. I've calculated an anti-aliased image for all of Jim's recent FOTD images. I got this idea for comparing images from the method used by Clyde Tombaugh to discover Pluto. He quickly alternated between viewing two different photographic plates of the same area of the night sky taken on successive nights. While the two photos were alternately presented to his view, Pluto moved. The instrument he used to do this is called a "blink microscope." This "blink" method is not limited to fractal image comparison. It can be used to compare any pair of images with slight differences. For example, one can compare the change in quality of two or more versions of the same image saved with differing amounts of JPEG compression. If you're a member of the [Fractint] email list serve, please let me know whether you're able to successfully "blink" a pair of similar images from my description above. ================================================================
