Mebbe this is an oft repeated graphics question but i would really like to know if or how i can use the graphics package like open GL to simply plot coloured points? i say this because i like writing fractal programs and want to be able to colour them nicely as they run. There does not seem to be any simple way to just colour a pixel or part of pixel at co-ordinates xy according to say, the number of iterations.
cheers for any suggestions!
