Noface



Been playing around with some more maths. This app plots attractors of the Logistic Equation (with a bit of symmetry thrown in for good measure). The maths is straight forward and explained in the excellent book Symmetry in Chaos: A Search for Pattern in Mathematics, Art and Nature by Michael Field and Martin. Keys a-z have preset values for drawing images from the book. I think you'll need a fairly powerful PC to run the app.

Pretty damn impressive, if it works on my old Medion I guess it will work fine for most people.
Love the sliders, very tasteful, quite sensitive though, takes a steady hand!!!

Have you come across this site some of the images remind me of some of the shapes created by your applet http://www.chaoscope.org/, I came across it when looking up the Lyapunov function.
