The additional package dynamics
includes several
functions to create various graphical representations of discrete
dynamical systems and fractals, and an implementation of the Runge-Kutta
4th-order numerical method for solving systems of differential equations.
To use the functions in this package you must first load it with
load("dynamics")
.
Starting with Maxima 5.12, the dynamics package now uses the function
plot2d
to do the graphs. The commands that produce graphics
(with the exception of julia
and mandelbrot
) now accept
any options of plot2d
, including the option to change among the
various graphical interfaces, using different plot styles and colors,
and representing one or both axes in a logarithmic scale. The old
options domain, pointsize, xcenter, xradius,
ycenter, yradius, xaxislabel and yaxislabel
are not accepted in this new version.
All programs will now accept any variables names, and not just x
and y as in the older versions. Two required parameters have
changes in two of the programs: evolution2d
now requires a list
naming explicitely the two independent variables, and the horizontal
range for orbits
no longer requires a step size; the range
should only specify the variable name, and the minimum and maximum
values; the number of steps can now be changed with the option
nticks.
