Butterfly

This page includes an applet, which may or may not run for you. See Troubleshooting for details.

The plot below illustrates the Butterfly curve, invented by T. Fay (American Mathematical Monthly, v96, n5 (May, 1989) :442 ). The data for this curve is plotted from a 90k file that contains 10,000 4 byte floating point X,Y pairs.

No Java Plug-in support for applet, see http://www.java.com/

For information about the binary format, see the PxgraphParser Java class documentation. For information about endian issues, see the Endian Examples.
