- One can specify an Iterated Function System in any number of
- dimensions, e.g. in 3d. An example is the famous fern of
- Michael Barnsley, extented to 3d as shown on the inside of the
- cover of his book `Fractals everywhere'.
-
- Of course are fractals generated with IFS of linear type
- (when using affine transformations, as mostly done), not
- like the Mandelbrot-set that is non-linear.
