Vertical move evaluates F; horizontal move copies the answer back to the axis. Watch the equilibrium at 0 (Malthusian) or at P=K (logistic), and whether nearby points move toward it or away. For chaos (try r=2.75), turn on the second orbit and watch the two colors track together, then split apart --- the time-series panel below shows this more clearly than the cobweb itself.
