[PD] Lorenz attractor

Hi,

I've recently been studying Lorenz attractors and other chaos circuits 
and have built one in PD. (I've looked at Ben Bogart's external 
containing a Lorenz attractor but I wanted to build my own). The patch 
is detailed below and I'd appreciate any comments regarding any aspect 
of it, but in particular, I'd like to know:

1) What is a better method of displaying the output? (the lines always 
get erased as the array draws new lines)

2) Why does it take 2 bangs to start it? (I previously had an initial x 
value of 0, but it refused to start at all, although it seemed to be 
working at one stage!)

many thanks

James
