May be a little off topic, but I saw this beautiful video [This equation will change how you see the world (the logistic map) - YouTube](https://youtu.be/ovJcsL7vyrk?t=406) and was wondering, is it possible to draw something like this in Julia? May be in [Makie](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Makie.jl) or some other package.

And I have second question: at [this time frame](https://youtu.be/ovJcsL7vyrk?t=338) he demonstrate some charts, may be someone knows what colour theme it is? I really liked combination of the colour of the background and line itself, not too light, not too dark.

Check [https://github.com/chakravala/Fatou.jl](https://github.com/chakravala/Fatou.jl)  
The color theme should be easy to pick out manually and pass to any plotting package.

Yes, I saw Fatou, it looks beautiful, but it’s 2d only or am I wrong?

Ok, it turns out that there is a [package](https://github.com/jonnyhyman/Chaos) where all of this plots were generated and color scheme is custom and can be found in sources. As for the mandelbrot set author used python package [VisPy](http://vispy.org/), I wonder is there anything like that in Julia?

Yes, it’s 2D only, but I plan to extend it to higher dimensions at some point with [Grassmann.jl](https://github.com/chakravala/Grassmann.jl) algebra instead of using only the complex numbers. It’s not high on my list of priorities, but planned.

Good to know! Will be waiting for updates.
