actually, looking closer at the demo code, the SpinButton demo displays the text manually with a text box. so making a custom controller should be easy. the spin button will still store integers internally, but i think i will take something of a fixed-point approach, and just specify a multiplier that is applied to the internal SpinButton | actually, looking closer at the demo code, the SpinButton demo displays the text manually with a text box. so making a custom controller should be easy. the spin button will still store integers internally, but i think i will take something of a fixed-point approach, and just specify a multiplier that is applied to the internal SpinButton | ||

+ | note from the future (!!): i realise now that this is actually a plot of the basin of attraction (i was changing the initial value for each point in the image, not the constants of the equation). this is also why the fractal dimension isn't changing very obviously. much much later, i do a plot of the fractal dimension when actually changing the constants and the results are more interesting. | ||

lots of changes in the last few months, but i just wanted to upload this neat new render. i made a normal escape plot for a slice of an attractor (in red, lighter colours mean quicker escape), and then overlayed a plot of the fractal (correlation) dimension (green, lighter colours mean higher dimension). | lots of changes in the last few months, but i just wanted to upload this neat new render. i made a normal escape plot for a slice of an attractor (in red, lighter colours mean quicker escape), and then overlayed a plot of the fractal (correlation) dimension (green, lighter colours mean higher dimension). | ||

+ | Oh, and there is this neat new animation. First some ramblings. I was showing the parameter plots above to Tim Boykett, and he pointed out an important assumption that I was making. The plots are specifically plotting the presence of attractors that just happen to have 0,0,0 in their basin of attraction (because the function doing the escape-plot always uses 0,0,0 as the starting point). To investigate how important this assumption was, I made an animation of parameter plots for changing initial values. The base attractor is the one used in all of the images called " | ||
