- LOGISTIC !
- --------------
-
- LOGISTIC plots, and lets you zoom into, the bifurcation diagram of the
- logistic equation. It runs under Windows 3.0 (or later), and should zip
- in any 80x87 equipped (or 486) machine. Performance on non coprocessed
- systems will be a bit slower.
-
- There is plenty of literature on the subject, and a good starting point
- is 'CHAOS, the making of a science' by James Gleick.
-
- Help is included in the module, as well as explanations of the available
- parameters. A sound approach is to start with low iteration and threshold
- values, raising them while zooming in. Disable 'Clear on Recalculation'
- and recalculate image with a lower threshold for interesting effects.
- Limit on Threshold and Iterations is 32768.
-
- Ahh.. and remember, what you are seeing is actually a simulation of the
- population of fish in a pond after a certain period of time depending
- on their reproductory rate ! (no kidding). Have fun !!
