Examples


In this section some simple examples are presented in order to illustrate what can be achieved by configurations of the various Descartes tools. For each tool there is at least one example that makes use of it. The best way to learn how to use the tools is to look how they are used on these simple examples and make changes on their configurations. The reader is welcome to make as many chamnges as he or she desires but is asked to leave the pages untouched to preserve their purpose.

The Cartesian Plane illustrates the tools: COLORS and SPACE.

Dots illustrates the tools: PARAMETERS and POINTS.

The Straight Line illustrates: EQUATIONS and SEGMENTS.

Trigonometric Functions illustrates: EQUATIONS and SEGMENTS.

Families of Curves illustrates: EQUATIONS (the sequence option) and TEXTS.

Polar Coordinates illustrates: VARIABLES and EQUATIONS (the editable option).

Vectors  illustrates: CONTROLS and SEGMENTS.

Euclidean Geometry illustrates the tools: ARCS and CONTROLS.

The Derivative illustrates: VARIABLES, FUNCTIONS and EQUATIONS.

The Spiral illustrates the tools: CURVES and FUNCTIONS.

Projectile Motion illustrates CURVES (the sequence option) and TEXTS.

 

Here are some more examples which were chosen to give ideas to the prospective user on the posible applications of Descartes.

"Tyrolese".

The Gaussian.

The Polynomials.

A Third Degree Equation in two variables.
