@NODE Introduction "What it actually does..."
	IFS/Introduction
	================
	This blanker draws figures that contain random fractals called "iterated
	function systems". IFS uses FFP numbers, and a probability distribution
	to minimize the probability of recalculating the same point over and over
	again.

@{b}           Save @{ub}- save and use the current settings.
@{b}            Use @{ub}- use the current settings.
@{b}           Test @{ub}- test the blanker under the current settings
@{b}         Cancel @{ub}- cancel all changes.
@{b}      Functions @{ub}- sets the maximum number of random transformation 
                  functions used to compute the figures.
                  @{i}Default: 6.@{ui}
@{b}     Iterations @{ub}- controls how long one figure is computed.
                  functions used to compute the figures.
                  @{i}Default: 100.@{ui}
@{b}       ContProb @{ub}- the probability to paint the next ifs without
                  clearing the screen first (in percent).
                  @{i}Default: 120%.@{ui}
@{b}       Decrease @{ub}- the number of percents substracted from ContProb
                  after drawing each figure.
                  So setting ContProb=120 and Drecreas=20 will mean "draw at
                  least two figures and at most 6".
                  @{i}Default: 20%.@{ui}
@{b}           Area @{ub}- set to either Special or Uniform. Uniformally
                  drawn figures look a bit more structured in some cases
                  but wastes much time.
                  @{i}Default: Special.@{ui}
@{b}      Transpose @{ub}- if not set then the centre of each figure is the
                  centre of the display. If set then each figure will be
                  displayed using an offset from the centre.
                  @{i}Default: Yes.@{ui}
@{b}   Display Mode @{ub}- the screen mode to use. If the preferred screen cannot
                  be opened then the default screen mode will be tried, if
                  this fails then the minimum screen mode required for this
                  blanker will be tried, if that fails then the blanker will
                  quit and let SwazBlanker choose an alternative blank
                  method.
                  @{i}Default: Hi-Resoloution Laced.@{ui}
