A Brief Tutorial
Overview
Simply stated, Bombelli is just another computer programme for plotting complex functions. Nevertheless, it features many characteristics that are at least unusual amongst other applications at its level, namely:
* It is gratuitous;
* On account of having been written in JAVA, it is platform independent and avaiable through the Internet;
* It offers a high degree of flexibility on defining new functions such as polymomial, trigonometric, exponential, Möbius Transformations, etc.;
* It includes four types of domain shapes: square grid, circular grid, Arnold's cat and a free-form coninuous curve;
* It permits fine detail observation through the "scroll" and "zoom" controls;
* It offers an adjustable degree of "smoothness".

Bombelli is a really nice way to view transformations. Slicko, but it requires a decent (?) Java implementation: works in Safari, works in Labs (?), doesn't work in Camino.
