It is probably a visual effect due to perspective, the coords are the same. I have also found that "Glass" is the best for me.

It let's you rotate the shape by dragging ... but you have to drag the actual shape (not the background) so the mouse sometimes "slips off" the shape as it moves.

After way too much coding time I have finally managed to fulfil an idea I had years ago of animating nets becoming polyhedra (folding and unfolding) for a few select polyhedra:

Here: Algebra 2 Skills Practice
Have a look over it. Comments/suggestions/corrections all welcome.
Hopefully lots of people will get benefit from this (if they know about it, that is!).

No I haven't.
But I have been thinking how to rescue the empty cars.

Thanks, funny!
You know you are a Linux user when you want to make one change to an app, and the helpful advice has 6 steps with commands like "sudo apt-get reinstall"

#266 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » Implicit Equation Grapher » 2013-08-06 23:01:33
You are welcome, bobby
... Maybe the ability to graph 2 or more equations.
You asked for it, and I have (I hope) managed to do it in the new v0.91 Implicit Equation Grapher
It is quite fun to overlay plots and find similarities between them.
Let me know if it doesn't behave nicely.
#267 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » Implicit Equation Grapher » 2013-08-05 13:05:42
I started working on this recently because I wanted to improve it.
I knew that Newton was a possible approach but wasn't convinced. So I started off to see if I could find the slope at any point ... hence the "shaded" plot types. Once I mastered slope I knew it was but a few small steps to Newton.
I was pleasantly surprised by the results, but it was very slow. After some work I was able to speed it up and you see the results.
You and some others over the past 2 years have suggested Newton to me, it just took a while for me to get around to it 
exp(x-y)=0 seems to suffer under the Newton algorithm, values below around exp(-7.5)=5.5e-4 lead to Newton heading towards zero. I will investigate.
#268 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » Implicit Equation Grapher » 2013-08-05 11:36:46
Breakthrough!
Was finally able to get Newton-Raphson to work.
Latest version (v0.90) now posted: Implicit Equation Grapher
You can still access the old algorithm (called "SignChange").
The "extra lines" seem to have gone, and (x-y)^2=0 works now.
Would really appreciate everyone testing it (try different functions) to make sure it does the best it can.

#272 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » Implicit Equation Grapher » 2013-07-31 21:09:05
Is that because you have Flash disabled?
#273 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » Implicit Equation Grapher » 2013-07-31 21:01:45
First thing I notice is the new warning about the flash player.
What warning?
It is funny about the known bug. That is just y = x and should graph as a straight line. Mathematica will graph it like that, Geogebra too, but other graphers like this one have the same problem
Mathematica and Geogebra may do something analytical with the equation first.

Thanks bob, fixed it. Try refresh now.
#275 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » Implicit Equation Grapher » 2013-07-31 16:20:23
Posted a new version (v0.85) of Implicit Equation Grapher
There is now an option for shaded plots ("far", "near" and "slope"). Explanations on page also.
It would be really nice if everyone could give it a workout and let me know how it behaves!
