Once you get used to Newton's Method to solve iterative functions, you can make up your own. Try one with just real roots, like (x^2 - 4) that will give you vertical lines (no imaginary part) Then try one with two real and one imaginary root. (I messed with the colors in x^3-1 and got a real striking fractal with the real root in blues, one imag root in greens, and the other in reds...) If you want a striking pattern, try x^4-1=0. That gives two real and two imaginary roots. Apply Newton's Method, and you get one that has you saying "Wow!" Frank Hartranft -- Frank@unomaha.edu
