FOTD 22-03-12 (Unlucky Thirteen [7+])
FOTD -- March 22, 2012 (Rating 7+) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the East Valley of a minibrot far out on the negative spike of a Mandelbrot set with Z^13 corruption in its depths. The bailout radius has been intentionally set close to the point where the entire image will be totally cut off. This adds more detail to the scene. The image magnitude of almost 10^13 is perilously close to the point of resolution breakdown, though this has little effect on the scene. (Fractint bug alert: if the value of the imag(p1) parameter is entered in the parameter file as 1000000000000000 , the program reads the value as -1530494976 Changing the parameter file entry to 1000000000000000.0 [adding a decimal point and a zero] cures the problem. Something else is being picked up, but I cannot see what.) The name "Unlucky Thirteen" refers to the Z^13 corruption of the parent fractal. Actually thirteen is considered unlucky because it was on a Friday the thirteenth that the order went out to destroy the Templars. The rating of a 7+ indicates my uncertainty as to the true worth of the image. With its calculation time of only 20 seconds, the image is another fireball. But setting up and running a parameter file is still a minor chore. This nuisance may be eliminated by viewing the image on the web sites. The FOTD fractals are posted on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> High definition versions of the images are posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the past FOTD images and discussions are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Morning clouds broke by mid-afternoon here at Fractal Central, letting through just enough sun to raise the temperature to a balmy 72F 22C. The fractal cats would have preferred more sun. The humans spent the day keeping busy, which took little effort. A minor political difference at lunch time was settled before it grew. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. At least, it's supposed to be posted then. Until whenever, take care, and always remember that every argument has two sides.

Unlucky? If you were a Templar, I suppose. If you were a French king desperately trying to fill an empty treasury, quite lucky the Templars were there.
The rating of a 7+ indicates my uncertainty as to the true worth of the image.
I rate it BEAUTIFUL! The colors look amazingly smooth for the restricted Fractint palette. -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community
Unfortunately, in XFractint, the par I copied and pasted from your email generates only an empty black screen. Works in DOS fractint under dosbox. On 03/22/2012 11:47 AM, Jim Muth wrote:

Jim,
(Fractint bug alert: if the value of the imag(p1) parameter is entered in the parameter file as 1000000000000000 , the program reads the value as -1530494976 Changing the parameter file entry to 1000000000000000.0 [adding a decimal point and a zero] cures the problem. Something else is being picked up, but I cannot see what.)
The value 1000000000000000 (1e+15) requires 7 bytes to be represented as an integer. The long integer type (the biggest we have available) only has 4 bytes, so the top three bytes are dropped. The value -1530494976 is what is left in the lower four bytes. The range of integers that can be used are -2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647. Jonathan
