A Chaotic Pendulum in Phase Space with Java

Running Our Two Applets

• Applets take time to load and may be fragile; be patient and gentle.
• Push start to start the animation.
• Push stop to stop the animation before its normal completion.
• Push clear to remove old graphs.
• Push rerun to repeat previous case.
• If you close or go back on the main applet screen, the control panel will be killed.
• The speed of the simulation depends on the speed of your computer.
• Use delay to adjust animation speed.
• Use duration to adjust number of cycles displayed.
• Applets run on Netscape 3, maybe not on others.
