I am not sure how this code operates. If I want a graph of the first n
bifurcations, I would like to pass n to the function "diagram" and have
it call on getpoints n times (passing it an index from 1 to n). Then in
"diagram" I want to plot those n sets of points on the same graph. I
can't see in the above code what I should supply for "L".
Sorry for the barrage of questions, and you all have been very helpful!
