Slicing the Central Cone


  

  You will need to enable Java in order to use this demonstration.  


Please be patient while the applet is loaded (93K)...

Interaction Controls

Click on the "DEMO" button at the left to start the demonstation. It may take a few moments to open the windows needed for this applet. You should eventually get two new windows: the "Controls" window and the "Graph" window. Initially, the graph window will contain a small set of axes, and dots that follow along the generating curve for the dimensional cone.

Click on the ">>" button to see the different kinds of slices that are associated with the various section of the dimensional cone.

You may use the "Graphics" menu of the graph window to control some of the visual characteristics of your image. For example, you can thicken the lines, or make the surface be filled in (rather than outlined). Use the "Control" menuof the graph window to zoom out if the surface is too large to fit entirely in the window.

When you are done with the demonstration, choose the "Exit Demo" menu item from the "Windows" menu of the "Controls" window. The applet will not exit until you do so.
