Auto link won't work due to the apostrophe, worth a copy'n'paste.

http://tinyurl.com/d6rnztl Same link, except I just made it clickable. Well worth it though, now just to get a graphing calculator emulator that can graph this. I feel like it's cheating though, because the image is encoded in the k value, which is included in the formula. The formula is just a decoder for bitmaps.

mirhagk;

code:
$ ipython notebook --pylab inline


then knock yourself out. Graphing calculator versus inline web page python code with full on scilab plotting. It's a better way to fly.

Alright I will get around to getting pylab installed. I've never really used it, so I probably should try it out.
