3. Other Visualization Techniques

Besides all the visualization techniques presented over the last few sections, which were developed for the purpose of visualizing fixed points in dynamical systems, I have also developed some other visualization methods, not very useful for the special purpose of fixed points visualization, but rather for general visualizations of dynamical systems.

To these other techniques belong the following:

Colored Streamline: a colored streamline can be integrated, starting from one point, where the color is given by some attribute mapping.
Rake: a Rake is given by a startline, where n uniformly distributed startpoints are chosen, and from each of these startpoints a colored streamline is calculated.
Sphere: a Sphere can be generated at a special point in the space.

These three other visualization techniques will now be presented in the next subsections, but only very short, as the main topic of this project was the visualization of fixed points of dynamical systems in 3D.
