AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a cobweb diagram for a function's attracting point. Start by taking a point A0 on the x-axis and drawing a perpendicular line a through A0. Then, take a fixed point Fixpoint on line a and draw a series of vertical segments, each starting from the end of the previous segment and ending on the x-axis, forming a spiderweb-like structure to illustrate the effect of the function's slope on the attracting point.
