The script requires 3 command line arguments:
- "side" (-s, --side): the limit of the area to visualize (recommended value: ~2)
- "resolution" (-r, --res): the resolution of the resulting square picture (recommended value: >300)
- "iterations" (-i, --iter): the max number of recursive computations for each point of the discretized plane (recommended value: >50)
