Some information about the kinematics plotter
kinematics calculator and plotter
The tutorial on relativistic arithmetic will be added here, potentially with some examples or pointers about the software as well.
The original version of this software began around 2010 while I was working at TRIUMF on the University of British Columbia campus. It was initially just HTML and PHP, but eventually I incorporated gnuplot to make nice plots.
The original version did not allow the users to see the source code. Also, the calculations and plotting were done on the server for this website.
This version uses nothing but HTML and javascript. That means that all of the calculations and plotting take place on the user's hardware. It also means that it is inherently open source! My home-cooked javascript plotting is not as good as gnuplot. But during development and testing of this new version, I generated the plot below, which seems quite good to me.
Grids and labels are set interactively by the user. This requires more interaction but it can yield nice results.
Please feel free to get in touch about bugs or desired improvements.
