[MUG] Animation of drawing a function point-by-point
Author: Sandy Yates    Posted: Thu, 31 Oct 2002 21:24:15 -0000

>> From: "Sandy Yates" "S.Yates"

Dear MUG,

I am not very experienced with Maple (v7). I am trying to ANIMATE
drawing an (x, f(x) ) function where for each iteration I would like to
draw more of the function, i.e, incrementing x for each step animation
step.
For example, I would like to plot
> f:= t -> exp(-t/100)*cos(t);
> plot(f(t),t=0..600,numpoints=400);
so that each stage of the animation more points are included. I would
hope that the plot gives the impression that data points are being
acquired and plotted with time. This is for some illustrations I have
in mind.

Can anybody suggest a neat way of doing this?

Many thank,
Sandy

I discuss this type of animation in my book "Computing with Maple"; see
http://centaur.maths.qmul.ac.uk/CwM/ for details. I suggest you take a look
at the cardioid animation under "Graphics examples" on that web page. If
that does essentially what you want, then you might like to download the
solutions to the exercises for Chapter 3, which are available as a Maple 6
worksheet under "Exercise solutions". (Of course, I would also encourage
you to buy the book!)

This worksheet also runs in Maple 7. (In fact, I have just fixed a problem
in it caused by the fact that Maple 7 will not accept a zero-length
parametric curve, whereas Maple 6 would.)

A little crude because the moving point is connected to the axis (discont =
true seems not to work here):

with(plots):animate(
sin(x)*Heaviside(t-x),x=0..10,t=0..10,frames=50,numpoints=100);

Your function is harder to do because of overflow problems

The following is quite short and will give you what you need:

f:= t -> exp(-t/100)*cos(t);
nf := 11:
plots[display]([
seq(
plot(f(t),t=0..(i-1)/(nf-1)*600+1e-15,
numpoints=max(2,trunc(1+(i-1)/(nf-1)*400))),
i=1..nf)
],insequence=true);


In the above 'nf' is the number of frames, and can be adjusted to suit - the 600
is the last time value, and the 400 is the number of points in the last frame -
notice, they are defined as ratios of the final values in terms of
'(i-1)/(nf-1)'.

This can be made more efficient, but it is much less elegant.

Here's one way:
>f:=t->sin(t):
>for i to 10 do p[i]:=plot(f(t),t=0...2*i,color=black) od:
>plots[display]([seq(p[i],i=1..10)], insequence=true);

The second line creates the frames of the animation (in this case 10
frames). The third line displays them as an animation.

The range 0..600 seems much too big to do justice to this graph, but if
that's what you really want:

plots[animate](
`if`(t<x, f(t), undefined)
,t= 0..600
,x= 0..600
,numpoints= 400
,frames= 100
);

Of course, you can change the ranges and the number of frames to whatever
you want.

Here is another solution in addition to the one that I just posted. This
one works much, much faster and gives a smoother animation, but it is more
difficult to understand for a new user.

TracePlot:= proc(P::specfunc(anything, PLOT))
local A,C,C0,Cn,Pn,np,chunk,fr,f;
fr:= 16; # Defaukt number of frames
hasoption([args[2..-1]], 'frames', 'fr');
C:= op(1,P);
C0:= op(0,C);
A:= op(1,C);
Cn:= op(2..-1,C);
Pn:= op(2..-1,P);
np:= nops(A);
chunk:= np/fr;
PLOT(ANIMATE(seq([C0(A[1..trunc(chunk*f)], Cn), Pn], f= 0..fr)))
end proc:

And call it as:

TracePlot(
plot(exp(-t/100)*cos(t), t= 0..100, numpoints= 400)
,frames= 100
);

May-be animatecurve( .... ) is the function you need ? (after
with(plots) )

Product Reviews

"Without the Maple software, we would have to spend weeks generating the equations of motion for every experiment. Then the chances that we did it right would basically be near zero. There would always be a mistake somewhere. It is very difficult to set up a dynamic motion model by hand."
- Jean-Claude PiedBeouf, Ph.D Manager of Robotics, Canadian Space Agency

"Its very good - highly accurate and easy to use. The speed of Maple allows me to change equations and quickly reintegrate them into the application, so more possibilities can be explored to achieve the precise effect desired."
Shawn Neely, Senior R & D Director for PDI/Dreamworks
