NAME

       gvb - simulate 1 and 2-dimensional vibrations in a nice GUI

SYNOPSIS

       gvb

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the gvb command.

       gvb  is  a  program  that  lets the user simulate waves and vibrations with given starting
       positions, calculation method and graphical appearance.
       It's easy to get the GUI nearly stuck if started with too  much  points;  the  maximum  of
       points  that  an  average computer can manage while remaining responsive is probably about
       200. An exception is given by the fact that  if  you  are  dumping  frames  to  create  an
       animation, probably you want a good quality and won't mind if the GUI is almost stuck.
       Also  pay  attention  to the fact that the "eig" mode requires a lot of precalculation; in
       this mode, calculating in 2 dimensions with just  15  points  per  dimension  can  already
       require some minutes, depending on CPU power.
