With all of these fractals flying around, I decided to dig through a
book I had lying around. There's an interesting passage in the book,
where it is discussing these figures, called 3d dragon curves, and I
quote,
"..he uses IBM's computer resources to plot a million or more points in
three dimensions to generate a three-dimensional dragon curve. He then
runs a ray tracing program which determines the illumination of every
point and the positioning of it on a two-dimensional display. Needless
to say, this is beyond the capability of our personal compters."
The book is a little out of date, apparently.. (published in 1990) I
didn't quite use a million points, but I did use 1 out of every 5 of my
288000 calculated points. 57600 blobs still makes a pretty funky image,
tho..

Funky! Why is it called Dragon Fractals?

I guess you have serious problems to answer to the right posting! :-)
You can cancel the ones that have gone wrong with
EDIT -> cancel message in your netscape menu.
Have a nice day,

The problem is that I only notice AFTER posting them!

That's what it is for!
To cancel your post after posting! After you've seen it is wrong!
Believe me, I had to do this too! ;-)

This is not possible! I would have been tempted to do that with -@--
posts! :-)
Only the poster can cancel it. And only from the same address if I
remember right.

Yep, I have done many a Edit/Cancel Message in Netscape Communicator once
I notice errors after it posts. I just do the cancel soon as I can while
looking at the post.

Hardly seems a fractal to me. Reminds me somewhat of 3D plotting using 2D
programs.

Animate them!!!
do them rolling round or something, that would look really weird, these are
excellent!
