Yeah, I did.  Just did again.
The way it's written still doesn't make it any clearer to me.  ;)  :/

Right, we've come across that here and there, and I only really caught on when I
was plotting the function values and using the result as a pigment as well.   My
first post should have been enough to make that clear to me, but ....  density.

Wholeheartedly agree that the default internal color map ought to be explicitly
mentioned if not listed and explained in detail.

Right-o.   It was a night-time last ditch effort, and I was just going off the
last post.  The first post rolled off my stack.

I'm glad it has worked out for you   :)


Just a thought - given the fractal nature, and the high function gradient -
maybe this approach will give you a smoother result?
