Weisstein: originally it was located within the CellularAutomata.m package, then the function was moved to the package Plot.m, finally, as of 03.15.2005, it was replaced by the standard Mathematica function *ArrayPlot* (all of this from the version history of the package CellularAutomata.m). Therefore, for you own explorations, you should also use *ArrayPlot*. Hope this helps, /J.M.
