#
#  This is a barebones version of a display of the Sierpinski fractal.
#  It has deliberately been left simple and free of options so that the
#  basic idea is clear and so that it can be used as the basis of
#  more capable versions.
#
#  This program is based on material given in "Chaos, Fractals,
#  and Dynamics", Robert L. Devaney, Addison-Wesley, 1990.
