History

Version 1.2

  1. This version is now (downwards) compatible with Java3D 1.3.1. This allows it to run on Mac OS X.

Version 1.1

  1. Added new color scheme based on z-values of surface.
  2. Added lighting and changed default transparency for aesthetic reasons.
  3. Fixed bug that occurred on WE(p,q) when increasing value for n. The color scheme changed when increasing n; this has been fixed.

Version 1.0

  1. Added new color scheme based on z-values of surface.
  2. Default functions for each tab have been updated according to Michael's requests.

Version 0.9

  1. Added light/shading to surfaces.
  2. Added automatic zooming of surfaces to place in proper perspective.
  3. Added square root field to WE(h,g) tab to deal with branch cut issues
  4. Cleaned up many of the pre-set functions to include better domain/ranges for each choice.
  5. "Last info" is not tracked so that when switching between tabs, functions are displayed properly
  6. Default functions for each tab have been updated according to Michael's requests.

Version 0.8

  1. Changed "log(z)" to mean "log base e". This is reflected in the function choice menu.
  2. Automatic zooming to fit surface in window is implemented
  3. Added transparency slider

Version 0.7

  1. Made functions in WE(h,g) tab and Complex P Surf tab look nicer.
  2. Some problems due to branch cut of sqrt() and arg(z) remain.

Version 0.6

  1. Made WE(G,dh) tab functional.
  2. Added ability to input functions of z, r, and theta for initial value fields.

Version 0.5

  1. Converted parametric surface tab wo WE (G,dh) tab (but not yet functional)
  2. Re-labeled other tabs
  3. Added input boxes for initial conditions necessary for radial solvers on WE(p,q) tab
  4. Scrubbed pre-set functions on WE(p,q) tab so that all seem to be working properly.

Version 0.4

  1. Update to Java jre 1.6.0_13 broke applet. This has been fixed.

Version 0.3

  1. Downgraded Java requirements from Java 6 to Java 5 in order to make Mac compatible.

Version 0.2

  1. Tabs to graph parametric surfaces, Weierstrass-Enneper I surfaces, Weierstrass-Enneper II surfaces, and Complex-valued parametric surfaces.
  2. Zooming by right/left clicks and mouse wheel rotation implemented.
  3. Rotation by left click and drag.
  4. Translation by right click and drag.
  5. User ability to choose domain and range for all tabs.
