# Random 2D Slice Of 4D Mandelbrot Fractal
# FB - 201105231
"""Random 2D Slice Of 4D Mandelbrot Fractal.
                          Modified by Symion 2011
    Now works with Visual Python v5.40.
    Produce 2D slice of 4D Mandelbrot Fractal and Map it in 3D!

Visual Python Controls:
    Click Left Mouse Key = Navigate
    Press Right Mouse Key = Spin
    Press Both Keys = Zoom
    q = Point size - 1
    w = Point size + 1
    e = Point shape + 1
    r = Scene Alignment
