Bairstow's method tries to find quadratic factors of polynomials, all with real coefficients. This image shows the behaviour of different initial factors for x,y in the range [-3,3]. A black point indicates no convergence after ca. 100 iterations, a white point indicates a solution after one iteration, a colored point signifies convergence to the limit point located in the basin of that color. The polynomial to be factored is

Having corrected a nasty error in the source code, the basins of convergence for this example look a lot more impressive. Increased the resolution to double size, added coordinate system.
