Greetings! Do You like creating weird pictures with the help of an
abstract mathematical theory? Do You study mathematics or physics and
have to learn function theory? Then You should try out this program:
ComplexPlotter.
Basically it allows to input a twodimensional drawing and picture it
with a complex function. This process changes the drawing depending on
what function You use (for example rotates, bends or splits it). With
a bit of training You can produce some really entertaining effects.
I got the idea to write this program one day in the first semester of
my studies of physics. The professor, who teached analysis, showed some
simple effects produced by complex functions. I wrote this program, not
knowing that complex functions are the main interest of function theory,
which became subject in fourth semester. So I was then able to put my
program to good use, by producing some pictures which illustrated complex
functions, which were spread among fellow students by the professor.
Now I have translated (or better: have tried to translate) the program
into English, and submit it to the Fred Fish library. Both versions,
the original german and the translated english one, are included on this
disk. The german version uses PAL-graphics (256 lines), so it won┤t run
properly in "NTSC-countries" like the USA, and You have to use the english
version, which I designed for 200-line-graphics.
For more detailed information about the program type the ".doc"-file which
can be found along with the programs themselves in the directories
"Plotter/German" and "Plotter/English". Those documentations are a bit
long, but that doesn┤t mean the programs are very difficult to use. The
directory "Plotter/DefPics" contains some demo drawings.
ComplexPlotter was written under Kickstart 1.3 in assembler, but it should
run under OS 2.0 or higher without problems. It needs the MathTrans.library,
and I recommend to have at least 1MB RAM.
