Twirling Ellipsoid
This applet allows you to change many parameters used in rendering the
ellipsoid.
- The long scroll bars along the top and bottom control the
granularity of the interior polygon mesh (red) and the outline polygon fan
(green), respectively.
- The three scroll bars labeled X, Y, and Z, allow you
to alter the lengths of the ellipsoid's basis vectors, thereby modifying its
shape.
- The Scale scroll bar controls the scale at which the ellipsoid is
rendered.
- The three check boxes allow you to turn on or off any combination of:
- The interior polygons (red)
- The twirling motion of the ellipsoid
- The outline polygons (green)
