Thank you very much, Ian!

I looked at this sometime ago and couldn’t get it to work as well (and
given up).

https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Studio/FractalsVisualizationJ

Thing is, jwiki suggests gdshow’’ as the last call to show the rendering
(similar to pd ‘show’ - it kind of makes sense), but the Lab’s (the working
reality) isn’t - rendering calls actually come AFTER gdshow’’.

Wonderful. I have a new toy to play with in my long weekend! And thanks for
the book recommendation as well.
