This project simulates a simple Lorentz attractor and it was mainly implemented to get comfortable with JavaScript. The system of ODEs (as well as some other technicalities) can be found in the Wikipedia page.
Be careful: the x variable must be inserted in the x-axis variable box (not in the y-axis one); if the y or z variable is inserted in the x-axis box, then the script will automatically plot the (y,z) trajectory.
Press ENTER to display the trajectory with the new parameters.
If you have problems in visualizing the trajectory after changing the parameters of the model, try to play with the scaling (zoom) and the translate (upper-left origin of the frame of reference) parameters.
