Fractal image of a dog (?), with .PAR file
 
Background: I wrote a little program to use Fractint in batch mode to
generate animations of a fixed region of a fractal, while varying the
parameters (tracing out a sort of circle in 4-D parameter space).  I
then make FLC files, which the very nifty and free DISPLAY v1.87 program
for DOS can both generate and play automatically, from a set of GIFs.
These animations are kind of interesting in their own right, but at 6
MB are a bit large to post anywhere :-).
 
Here a few zooms into an interesting frame of one such FLC, in the
form of a PAR file.  There is a figure here which looks rather like a
particular kind of small dog with a squarish muzzle and a little
goatee, maybe you know the kind I'm thinking of. Although, this one is
of the unicorn variety and seems to have a bit of dragon blood mixed
in, so maybe I'm just getting carried away by imagination. Well, I
think it looks kind of neat anyway.
