I was going through my fractal files and asked myself a question to which I don't know the answer: Exactly what am I seeing when I view a fractal? What is the relationship of the display to the <z> axis? Is it possible to rotate any fractal so that any axis becomes any other axis? Or is the computed display all there is? Is it possible to begin parsing with different axes? Basically, imagine a rectangle the ratios of which (x, y, z) are 2:4:1 (of any magnitude). Where on, or in, this rectangle is the position of the fractal? And if it were observed from the smallest axis (z), what would it look like? This has me baffled, and is mind game that is generating a lot of heat. Any answer would be appreciated, but especially one I could understand. Thx David M fisher
