Subject: Java 3D: Drawing a 3D Mathematical Function
To the Java 3D Interest Group:
I have just joined the interest group, and I was hoping someone could help
me with a problem. Please let me know if this is not the appropriate forum
for these types of requests.
I am an MIS graduate student working on a genetic algorithm assignment that
will approximate an optimal solution to the following function:
f(x1,x2) = 21.5 + [x1 * sin(4*pi*x1)] + [x2 * sin(20*pi*x2)]
...where -3.0 <= x1 <= 12.1 and 4.1 <= x2 <= 5.8
For extra credit, I'd like to build a GUI that will draw the 3D graph and
(if possible) show the genetic algorithm's attempts to locate the maximum
(i.e., dynamically "flash" points produced by the genetic algorithm as
possible maximums).
I'm new to Java 3D, so I'm wondering - can the mathematical function
described above be implemented (relatively painlessly!) with Java 3D? If
so, what would be a good place to start?
Thank you in advance for your help!
