DESCRIPTION

       The phase space of the Rossler system, which is  described
       by the three differential equations

       dx/dt = -y - z,

       dy/dt = A * y + x, and

       dz/dt = B + x * z - C * z,

       is  plotted  according to the specified parameters.  Valid
       arguments passed with the -xp and -yp options can  be  any
       one  of  x(t), y(t), z(t), x(t-delta), y(t-delta), or z(t-
       delta).  Thus, the displayed plot can take the form  of  a
       state space plot or a delayed coordinate plot.

OPTIONS

       -width integer
              Width of the plot in pixels.

       -height integer
              Height of the plot in pixels.

       -skip integer
              Number of initial points to skip.

       -points integer
              Number of points to plot.

       -A double
              Value of the A parameter.

       -B double
              Value of the B parameter.

       -C double
              Value of The C parameter.

       -delta integer
              Time delay term.

       -dt double
              Time step.

       -x0 double
              Initial X value.

       -y0 double
              Initial Y value.

       -z0 double
              Initial Z value.

       -data  Don't plot, but print points.

       -xp string
              X-coordinate for plot.

       -yp string
              Y-coordinate for plot.

       -factor double
              Auto-scale expansion factor.

       -inv   Invert all colors?

       -mag integer
              Magnification factor.

       -term string
              How to plot points.

MISCELLANY

       The  plot region is determined by the points that are ini-
       tially skipped.  If this number is too small (i.e., it  is
       not  very  representative of the range of the plotted val-
       ues), then you may need to increase the  number  specified
       by  the  -skip  option.  Alternatively, you can adjust the
       value  given  to  -factor,   which   simply   fractionally
       increases the border of the plot.

       The  program uses a second-order Euler's method to perform
       the numerical integration, which is sufficient for  simple
       tasks such as this.

BUGS

       No  sanity  checks  are performed to make sure that any of
       the options make sense.
