Hmm, I couldn't be bothered with the caTools, but it looks fine for me with
image(X[,,20],col=jet.colors(100))
Perhaps you need jet.colors(n) as well?

Save for the odd color scheme, the one on the left looks like a
Mandelbrot set, the one on the right appears to be iteration 4. I
couldn't find your original source for this on wiki.r-project.org?
