Bob,

Oh I think there is a definite difference between quaternions and
Julia-fractals.  That's like comparing a flat circle of paper to a glass
sphere.  2-D Julia fractals as they're usually drawn don't have shadows or
planes of rotation like ray-traced quaternions, -- unless you layer a
series of them together in Paint Shop Pro and add a drop shadow.  I attach
here another example of a triangle object, definitely not a Julia set, but
created with another of my programs Fractal Zplot, using the POV export
technique.  An lsystem is the correct term for this one.  Enjoy!

Regards,

Terry
