::This task looks pretty stable but the description still seems like it doesn't have enough to it. the "color table" part seems kind of confusing. Maybe there's a different way of saying the same thing that doesn't invalidate the other examples? If we could get that filled in then I think this task is ready to move up. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 13:10, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I think we need a wikipedia link for "color table", but other than that there are no issues. This task looks ready for promotion. [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 07:30, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
 
Also, this is very very similar to [[Sierpinski_triangle]] and [[Sierpinski_triangle/Graphical]] (xor method). Mind you it is very pretty too :) --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 13:07, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
