One of the purpose of my project is also to make the simulation codes easy to access and understand. So in the past two weeks, Dr. Bellis and I have been working on how to make plotting curve codes easier to change (make it more general).
Here are two pictures of the plotting simulations that I have made. On the left, there are two curves (on sine and one cosine) that is moving and. On the left, one can see a exponential curve that is moving to the left as each frame goes by.
Dr. Bellis and I changed the plots so that the coordinate system and the equations that we want to plot is in one tab (called simple_plot), and the code for start plotting and the amplitude and period changes are on the other tab (called plotting_tools).
From the picture above, all the complicated codes are put in one tab, and the one that one may want to manipulate (period, frequency, etc.) are on the plotting_tools tab. To make one simulation, we just have to call up simple_plot in the codes that is under the plotting_tools tab.
Due to spring break, I will not be going to Siena for internship for two weeks. After two week, I hope I can start to make graphs that can show the amount of dark matter captured on earth! :)
Another fine post, Yvonne. Your pictures are always a wonderful addition, and your project seems to be progressing nicely.
ReplyDeleteI have lost track of your last few posts. I think you are missing a week, here and there. In the future, please clearly note your internship date in the blog post. Note that this is often different from the day that you write the post. Of course, make sure you have one post per week.
Hi Mr. Calos,
ReplyDeleteSometimes I combine the progress I've got into one blog, because it is more complete that way. :P
I'll make sure I add the dates on my post next time.
