ACKNOWLEDGEMENT


We would like to express our special thanks of gratitude to our
professor Mr. Vivek Kumar, Assistant Professor, THDC I HET who
gave us the golden opportunity to do this wonderful project on the
topic Equation Animator Using Matlab, which also helped us in
doing a lot of Research and we came to know about so many new
things we are really thankful to him for showing us the real
intersection of computer science and its application for engineers.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT :MATLAB



MATLAB is a high-level language and interactive environment for numerical
computation, visualization, and programming. Using MATLAB, you can analyze data,
develop algorithms, and create models and applications. The language, tools, and
built-in math functions enable you to explore multiple approaches and reach a solution
faster than with spreadsheets or traditional programming languages, such as C/C++ or
Java.

You can use MATLAB for a range of applications, including signal processing and
communications, image and video processing, control systems, test and measurement,
computational finance, and computational biology. More than a million engineers and
scientists in industry and academia use MATLAB, the language of technical
computing.

PROJECT SPECIFICATION

OBJECTIVE
To make an equation animator which can animate the plot of
binomial equation.

.
PROJECT OVERVIEW

In our project we studied the basics of Matlab and GUIDE (Graphical
User Interface Design Environment) that took almost 2 Month.

To find out information about my topic, we first started with the matlab
basics and then GUIDE. After that we focused our main project i.e. how it
works, did a lot of research on it from the previously did project on it and
Mathworks, a privately held, multi-national corporation that specializes in
mathematical computing software including MATLAB and Simulink.

The following topics we came to know-



GUIDE-
GUIs (also known as graphical user interfaces or UIs) provide point-and-
click control of software applications, eliminating the need to learn a language
or type commands in order to run the application.
MATLAB apps are self-contained MATLAB programs with GUI front ends
that automate a task or calculation. The GUI typically contains controls such as
menus, toolbars, buttons, and sliders. Many MATLAB products, such as Curve
Fitting Toolbox, Signal Processing Toolbox, and Control System Toolbox,
include apps with custom user interfaces. You can also create your own custom
apps, including their corresponding UIs, for others to use.

Binomial Theorem-
Binomial theorem is used to describe algebraic expression of power of
a binomial, in elementary algebra. In other words binomial theorem can also be
called as a quick way of expanding a binomial expression that have been raised
to certain power.



CODE STRUCTURE
Animation Timer Callback Function-

function anim_timer_Callback(timer_object, eventdata, hObject)
global hfig_main
global hfig_control
global hfig_graphics

handles = guidata(hObject);

% use local variables simplify equations
x = hfig_main.params.x;
y = hfig_main.params.y;
a = hfig_main.params.a;

% set the first element in vector x(n) and y(n) to the last element
value from
% the previous timer iteration
x(1) = x(end);
y(1) = y(end);

% update graphics objects in graphics figure
set(hfig_main.graphic_objects, 'XData', x, 'YData', y);

% calculate N iterations for x(n) and y(n)
for n = 1:hfig_main.params.N-1

% quadratic recursive equation
x(n+1) = a(1) + a(2)*x(n) + a(3)*x(n)^2 + a(4)*x(n)*y(n) +
a(5)*y(n) + a(6)*y(n)^2;
y(n+1) = a(7) + a(8)*x(n) + a(9)*x(n)^2 + a(10)*x(n)*y(n) +
a(11)*y(n) + a(12)*y(n)^2;

if n == hfig_main.params.pos
hfig_main.params.x_plot(hfig_main.params.count+1) = x(n);
hfig_main.params.y_plot(hfig_main.params.count+1) = y(n);
end

end

% check if x or y plot radiobutton is enabled and draw plots
if hfig_main.params.xy_enable == 'x'
plot(hfig_graphics.axes_plot, hfig_main.params.x_plot, '-k');
elseif hfig_main.params.xy_enable == 'y'
plot(hfig_graphics.axes_plot, hfig_main.params.y_plot, '-k');
end

% flush event queue and update graphics
drawnow

% save x and y params
hfig_main.params.x = x;
hfig_main.params.y = y;

% update frame counter text
set(hfig_graphics.text_count, ...
'String', ['Step Count, i = ' num2str(hfig_main.params.count)]);

% update frame counter
hfig_main.params.count = hfig_main.params.count + 1;

Push Button Run Callback-
function pushbutton_run_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
global hfig_main
global hfig_control
global hfig_graphics

% reset parameters
hfig_main.params.x = zeros(hfig_main.params.N, 1);
hfig_main.params.y = zeros(hfig_main.params.N, 1);
hfig_main.params.x_plot = 0;

% disable frame rate parameter controls, these can only be
% modified when the timer is stopped
set(hfig_control.edit_framerate, 'Enable', 'off');
set(hfig_control.slider_framerate, 'Enable', 'off');

% initialize graphics objects
plot(hfig_graphics.axes_graphics, 0, 'k'); % reset plot
set(hfig_graphics.axes_graphics, 'NextPlot', 'Add');

hfig_main.graphic_objects = plot(hfig_graphics.axes_graphics, ...
hfig_main.params.x, ...
hfig_main.params.y, ...
'Color', [1 1 1], ...
'LineStyle', 'none', ...
'Marker', '.');

% set nextplot property to ensure graphics screen is erased for
% each frame
set(hfig_graphics.axes_graphics, 'NextPlot', 'ReplaceChildren');

% start timer
start(hfig_main.anim_timer);

Push Button Stop Callback-
global hfig_main
global hfig_control
stop(hfig_main.anim_timer);

% enable frame rate parameter controls
set(hfig_control.edit_framerate, 'Enable', 'on');
set(hfig_control.slider_framerate, 'Enable', 'on');
set(hfig_control.slider_framerate, 'Value',
hfig_main.params.timer_fps);

Push Button Reset Callback-
global hfig_main
global hfig_graphics

% reset counter and x/y data
hfig_main.params.x_plot = 0;
hfig_main.params.y_plot = 0;
hfig_main.params.count = 0; % time step counter
hfig_main.params.x = zeros(hfig_main.params.N, 1);
hfig_main.params.y = zeros(hfig_main.params.N, 1);

set(hfig_graphics.text_count, ...
'String', ['Step Count, i = ' num2str(hfig_main.params.count)]);

% reload current default parameters
if isfield(hfig_main.params, 'file')
eval(['run ' hfig_main.params.file ';']);
else
hfig_main.params.a = hfig_main.params.a_default;
end
update_controls;

Radio Button Callbak Function-
Radio Button X-
global hfig_main
global hfig_graphics
val = get(hObject,'Value');
if val
hfig_main.params.xy_enable = 'x';
set(hfig_main.radiobutton_y, 'Value', 0);
end
set(hfig_graphics.text_plot_title, ...
'String', [hfig_main.params.xy_enable ...
' position value for iteration = ' ...
num2str(hfig_main.params.pos)]);
Radio Button Y-
global hfig_main
global hfig_graphics
val = get(hObject,'Value');
if val
hfig_main.params.xy_enable = 'y';
set(hfig_main.radiobutton_x, 'Value', 0);
end
set(hfig_graphics.text_plot_title, ...
'String', [hfig_main.params.xy_enable ...
' position value for iteration = ' ...
num2str(hfig_main.params.pos)]);
