[Fractint] FOTD 20-08-12 (Polite Breakdown [No Rating])

20 Aug 2012

      FOTD -- August 20, 2012 (No Rating)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image might or might not be a fractal.  It's all in the 
opinion of the beholder.  The image is actually a scene in one 
of the spiral patches of yesterday's image, but what we see is 
not a legitimate fractal, it is an image created at a magnitude 
of almost 10^14, which is beyond the range of resolution of the 
Fractint math routine.

This presents difficulties in calculating today's image with 
programs other than Fractint.  The resolution breakdown, which 
creates the venitian-blinds effect, is particular to the 
Fractint math routine, and if the parameter file is run under 
other programs, a different image will result.  A program using 
a routine with a greater resolution limit will produce an image 
with full resolution, which will be a more accurate image for 
sure, but will miss the particular distortion that is featured 
in today's image.

I chose today's imperfect image to be the FOTD because I have 
never seen such a curious math breakdown before this.  Since the 
image is artificial, I could not give it a rating, but this does 
not mean it is totally worthless.

The calculation time of 2-2/3 minutes is admittedly slow.  The 
web sites will eliminate most of the wait however.

To view the finished image without the wait, check it on the 
official FOTD web site at:

A temperature of 68F 20C accompanied by clouds and rain showers 
left today with much to be desired here at Fractal Central.  The 
fractal cats checked the outside conditions once, then found 
more important things to concern themselves with.  The big event 
in the human department was a friendly discussion about the 
so-called 'war on women', FL and I taking opposing sides.

Provided a victory is achieved, the next FOTD will be posted 
soon, with the usual omission of a guarantee of promptness.  
Until whenever, take care, and let's stop protesting about a 
thousand minor injustices and organize a protest against the 
greatest injustice of all -- human mortality.
