- ;;; DESCRIPTION
- ;;; Plot function of two variables
- ;;;
- ;;; To make a three dimensional polygon mesh representing the
- ;;; values of a function in two variables across a specified range
- ;;; of values for the two variables, with a defined resolution
- ;;; (specified as the number of subdivisions within the range), call:
- ;;;
- ;;; (fplot function xrange yrange resolution)
- ;;;
- ;;; where:
- ;;;
- ;;; function The function to be evaluated. This will
- ;;; usually be the quoted name of a previously-
- ;;; defined function, or a quoted lambda-definition
- ;;; of a function.
- ;;;
- ;;; xrange The range of X values, specified as a list
- ;;; with the first element the lower bound for X
- ;;; and the second element the upper bound.
- ;;;
- ;;; yrange The range of Y values, specified as a list
- ;;; with the first element the lower bound for Y
- ;;; and the second element the upper bound.
- ;;;
- ;;; resolution An integer specifying the granularity of the
- ;;; mesh approximating the surface defined by the
- ;;; function's values for arguments in the specified
- ;;; range.
- ;;;
- ;;; For example, to plot (e**(-(X**2 + Y**2))) over the range from
- ;;; -1 to 1 in both the X and Y axes, use:
- ;;;
- ;;; (fplot '(lambda (x y) (exp (- (+ (* x x) (* y y)))))
- ;;; '(-2 2)
- ;;; '(-2 2)
- ;;; 20
- ;;; )
- ;;;
- ;;; (This will look like a tennis ball under the rug, when viewed
- ;;; from, say, VPOINT 1,1,1.)
- ;;;
- ;;; Or, you can plot a predefined function. For example:
- ;;;
- ;;; (defun cs (x y)
- ;;; (cos (sqrt (+ (* x x 2) (* y y))))
- ;;; )
- ;;; (fplot 'cs '(-20 20) '(-20 20) 40)
- ;;;
- ;;; This makes a series of elliptical ripples, like a pond after
- ;;; you've just dropped in a cinder block.
- ;;;
- ;;; This file contains a complex predefined test case. If you
- ;;; enter the command:
- ;;;
- ;;; DEMO
- ;;;
- ;;; you'll get the interference pattern from two exponentially
- ;;; damped cosine waves. This example illustrates the amazing
- ;;; surfaces you can generate with a simple definition using
- ;;; fplot.
