      <itunes:summary>My post above seems to have lost all it's new-line-carriage-return's. Why would that happen ? I'm sure it looked OK when I posted it earlier !

I'll try again:

Here is the Rossler system, one of the simplest examples of 3 dimensional deterministic chaos (under certain conditions according to "params"). Thanks to Doug and Joe for various assists. Comments and critiques most welcome !

#check eigenvectors
#plot poincare return map
#plot bifurcation diagram (vary b)
#plot 2D or 1D orbits with differing IVPs</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;A slight mod to your worksheet to add animation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mapleprimes.com:8080/maplenet/primes/worksheet/221_rossler_animate.mw"&gt;View 221_rossler_animate.mw on MapleNet&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.mapleprimes.com/files/221_rossler_animate.mw"&gt;Download 221_rossler_animate.mw&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Giorgios, the animation doesn't work here (Maple13.01, standard), I haven't looked into it, is a change in the parameters required or something?.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Hi PatrickT,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have jsut tried the worksheet on Maple 13.02 (standart on WinXP) and the animation does come up with no changes to Giogios's worksheet.&amp;nbsp; Could you try updating Maple 13 and check to see if the problem goes away?&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>play</title>
      <link>http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/35891-Rossler-System-Initial-Investigation?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:Rossler system, initial investigation:Comments#comment59704</link>
      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Thanks Scott, okay I was assuming that the animation would play automatically, but instead I had to trigger it by selecting &amp;quot;play&amp;quot; in the context menu (I don't usually do mouse clicks so it didn't occur to me to try it).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even better, I found that by selecting the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;
Tools -&amp;gt; Options -&amp;gt; Display -&amp;gt; Plot Display -&amp;gt; Window
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I get a very intuitive &amp;quot;play&amp;quot; button at the bottom of the pop-up window. Then it doesn't take a genius to figure out that pressing play will trigger the animation. Even I was able to work it out. And this one time I overcame a certain reluctance and touched a mouse.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers Scott,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Patrick.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>
