Title: Tornado Warning Post by: Pauldelbrot on March 21, 2009, 01:20:35 AM (http://u5789.direct.atpic.com/24801/0/1273984/1024.jpg) (http://pic.atpic.com/1273984/1024) An Antimatter Mandelbrot distance-estimator image. The angle parameter produces triple seahorse valley/triple spiral valley features. Purple points go to infinity, red ones to zero, and white points belong to the boundary of the Mandelbrot-like set for one critical point. Black points belong to the interior, as seen in the minibrot at lower right. The set in question being the points for which the selected critical point does not go to zero or to infinity. The highest iteration outside the M-set is 4994, but points near the border of the minibrot approached the set limit of (for this image) 1,000,000 before cycle detection kicked in.
