I'm a professor of mathematics at the University of North Carolina Asheville. I've also done a fair amount of consulting work over the years focusing on scientific and data visualization. I'm happy to be part of the first Observable Ambassador's cohort.

The IFS knows some things about itself, such as its dimension and probability list for a uniform distribution:
Insert cell
{
let s = IFS.dimension;
let [p0, p1] = IFS.plist;
return { s: s, p0: p0, p1: p1 };
}

IFS.render_stochastic({
plist: [1 / 2, 1 / 2],

})
