NOTE: As of V4.

0 I no longer use Flash to play sound.

HTML5 as supported within Chrome is now used, so you no longer need to setup permissions at macromedia.

Technical details: I based this on the work of Julien C.

This extension takes the 3D quadratic program, ports it to javascript and then uses the HTML5 canvas object to plot/render the fractal.
