Constructor Detail

BifurcateApp

public BifurcateApp()

Constructs the Bifurcate model.

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize()

Initializes the bifrucation diagram.

Overrides:

initialize in class AbstractSimulation

doStep

public void doStep()

Does a step by adding to the diagram using the current value of r. Increments the value of r at the end of the step in preparation for the next set.

Specified by:

doStep in class AbstractAnimation

reset

public void reset()

Resets all parameters to their defaults.

Overrides:

reset in class AbstractSimulation

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

The main method starts the Java applicaiton.

Parameters:

args - String[] command line parameters
