- This is a little program which helps in visualising 2 x 2 matrices
- as linear mappings.
-
- You are asked to type in the two rows of the matrix. The program
- draws the ellipe obtained by applying your matrix to points on the
- Unit circle.
-
- The coordinate system used for screen display is ALWAYS
- from -10 to 10 on x and y axes. Using very large and very small
- numbers in your input matrix will not be particularly illuminating.
-
- One last point: The program normally introduces delays so that the
- entire operation takes 8 seconds for one matrix. If you hit any
- key, it eliminates these delays. On a fast machine, this will
- make the display virtually instantaneous.
