Two-Dimensional Graphics

Further examples:


Three-Dimensional Graphics

MuPAD is able to plot three-dimensional images like space curves and surfaces. Further examples:


Graphical Primitives

We present an example concerning graphical primitives. In the current version of MuPAD two different graphical primitives are available - point and polygon - which can be used to compose graphical objects. Further examples:


User-defined Color Functions

In this section a further possibility for influencing the graphical representation of an object is introduced - user-defined color functions, which can be used for coloring objects with respect to the coordinates or other things like projecting the Fatou set of a complex function onto the surface described by the modulus of that function.


An Animations

The images of the following animation were calculated with MuPAD. To watch it, a Quicktime movie player like the public domain programs xanim on Unix systems and MoviePlayer or sparkle on Apple Macintosh is needed. Maybe you also have to configure your web browser (netscape, mosaic, ...) to tell it how to launch these applications.

Try to reload the configuration file of your web browser. If this is not possible, you have to restart it.

After that, click here to start the first animation (800Kb). If your WWW client cannot handle gizp-compressed files then click here to get the uncompressed version (2.5Mb).
