points = foldp(lorenz, Array(Point3f0, n), slidera, sliderb, sliderc, sliderd)
# we set the boundingbox to nothing, since we don't need it and don't want to
# calculate it for every update (which is the default)
glplot(points, :lines, boundingbox=nothing, preferred_camera=:perspective)
# you can also visualize the points
glplot((Circle(Point2f0(0), 0.01f0), points), boundingbox=nothing, preferred_camera=:perspective)
# the above renders an antia aliased nice looking circle which could have outlines and glows.
# this makes it relatively slow. For optimal performance, one might need the command below
# which draws one (or n) pixel per point

For what version of Julia did you write this? - I am trying to get the code running in Julia 0.6.4, but I get following error:

UndefVarError: init not defined

I guess it has to do with GLPlot, which you seem to have replaced with Makie.
