FOTD -- October 06, 2009 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Things were quite busy here at F.C. on Monday, so to save time I returned to the same parent fractal that gave us yesterday's FOTD image and checked an area that appeared to have East Valley characteristics. After a hurried search of the area, I found today's scene lurking not very deep. The outside=fmod option showed the way to the minibrot. This option surrounds minibrots with circular bull's eyes. I named the image "The Bat-fractal", perhaps thinking of a certain comic hero. Then I rated it at a measly average 5. It's really not worth anything more. The one redeeming feature is the calculation time, which at a mere 55 seconds, will cause no one to grow impatient. All possibility of impatience may be eliminated by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A mixture of sun and clouds let just enough sun through to keep the fractal cats happy here at Fractal Central on Monday. The temperature of 66F 19C kept the people happy. My day was more than busy enough to keep me happy. The next ground-breaking, (I hope), FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and wait for something really new.
