Limit sets

Let's have a closer look at the limit set of the transformation group generated by the Schottky circles. At first glance, these limit sets don't look too spectacular.

Please enable Java for an interactive construction (with Cinderella).

However, some special positions of the circles and boundary points will result in fascinating structures! The buttons 1 trough 8 move the points around to show some examples.
