Which function drawer is this one?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying a specific type of 3D function drawer used in a video, with participants exploring software options and programming tools that could replicate similar functionalities. The scope includes software applications and programming approaches related to mathematical visualization.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the name and availability of a specific 3D function drawer seen in a video.
  • Another participant suggests that the creator of the video uses custom-developed software and recommends contacting him for more information.
  • Some participants propose using the Processing IDE for programming, noting that it would require significant coding to achieve similar results.
  • There is mention of other software options like MATLAB, Mathematica, and GeoGebra, although one participant expresses doubt that these programs can replicate the specific functionalities demonstrated in the video.
  • One participant highlights the potential of Processing and mentions a Vimeo group where users share their projects, indicating a community of creators utilizing this tool.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that the software used in the video is custom-developed, but there is no consensus on whether existing software can replicate its capabilities. Multiple views on programming options and software alternatives remain present.

Contextual Notes

Some limitations include uncertainty about the specific features of the 3D function drawer and the capabilities of suggested software applications. The discussion does not resolve whether any existing tools can fully replicate the functionality seen in the video.

Have anybody seen a 3D function drawer like this one?(4:12)

Since I don’t know what these 3D drawers are really called,I can’t find any.

He uses custom developed software. You could always contact him or ask in a comment to the video.

You could also do a bit of programming with the processing.org IDE. But it would take a lot of code to duplicate his stuff directly.

Thanks! I have thought about that he uses a custom software,but I still hope there will be one lying out there.:smile:
 
The closest I know to do any kind of mathematical stuff are matlab, mathematica and geogebra. I'm pretty sure they don't do what he does though.

With processing you can do a lot of amazing things. Some folks post videos of their work on Vimeo.

Also processing third party libraries provide a lot of examples that you can run my favorite is the system of particles example in the PixelFlow library.
