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)
