Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around creating illustrations related to dynamical systems, focusing on software recommendations and techniques for drawing such diagrams. Participants share their experiences and suggest various tools for both artistic and programming approaches.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a desire to create illustrations similar to an attached file and seeks recommendations for software.
  • Another participant suggests Inkscape for artistic illustrations and Mathematica for a programming approach, noting the lack of free software options for diagram creation through programming.
  • A third participant confirms that Mathematica can be used for sketches without exact functions or equations and expresses intent to try Inkscape.
  • A fourth participant recommends LatexDraw and Ipe as open-source alternatives, mentioning a current issue with Ipe and Miktex 2.7.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for software recommendations but present multiple competing views regarding the best tools for creating illustrations, with no consensus on a single preferred option.

Contextual Notes

Some participants mention limitations related to specific software compatibility and the nature of the illustrations (artistic vs. programming-based), but these aspects remain unresolved.

Who May Find This Useful

HI to all.

I want to draw many illustrations like the attach file.

can you tell me some? and use what software?

Thanks!

The attached picture looks like it was made by an artist. You could do this with the program inkscape:

If you are looking for something more like computer programming then I suggest Mathematica.

I do not know any free software to make those diagrams by programming, so I too will watch this thread for that kind of solution.
 
Thanks
it can be drawn by Mathematica. there is not exact function or equation. just a sketch map. i will try the inkscape
 
You might want to try LatexDraw, Ipe among many open source drawing programs. Ipe is having a problem with Miktex 2.7 So everybody is waiting for the new version. If you are happy without text then go for Ipe.
