+Plane
+=====
+
+**Syntax**:(plane integer)
+
+All fractals displayed by XaoS are functions with a complex parameter. They can
+be be displayed in the normal complex plane where the x coordinate is the real
+part of the number and the y is imaginary; but they can also be displayed
+differently:
+
+mu
+
+ Normal complex plane (default)
+
+1/mu
+
+ Inversion--infinity is at 0 and 0 is at infinity.
+
+1/(mu+0.25)
+
+ Similar to inversion, but moves the center outside the Mandelbrot set, so
+ it looks parabolic.
+
+lambda plane, 1/lambda, 1/lambda-1
+
+ Lambda plane and its inversion, and with a different center.
+
+1/(mu-1.40115)
+
+ A very interesting mode for the Mandelbrot set, this makes small things
+ large, for easier browsing of the set's details.
+
+The :tutor:`tutorial about planes <plane.xaf>` has some examples.
+
+In the scripting language, the planes are numbered as follows:
+
+0
+
+ mu
+
+1
+
+ 1/mu
+
+2
+
+ 1/(mu+0.25)
+
+3
+
+ lambda
+
+4
+
+ 1/lambda
+
+5
+
+ 1/(lambda-1)
+
+6
+
+ 1/(mu-1.40115)
+
