another math question

I tried to rotate this 90 degrees to the right by switching the srcX and srcY terms, but it dosen't seem to work. What do I do?

Code: Select all

D0="x^3 - 3*x*y^2 - .5*x - .5"
D1="3*&#40;x^2 - y^2&#41; - .5"
D2="y*&#40;3*x^2 - y^2 - .5&#41;"
D3="6*x*y"
D4="d1^2 + d3^2"

srcX="x - .5*&#40;d0*d1 + d2*d3&#41;/d4"
srcY="y - .5*&#40;d1*d2 - d0*d3&#41;*d4"

Aspc=1

Vers=100

Here is a pic of what it looks like:

Change the cord from Y to X in D2 and see if that's what you're after.

Edit: The left-most "x" only. leave everything else as is

(Caveat: the previous observation is based on hands-on config-making only and ought not to be construed as simple guesswork. In other words, I do configs not based on the math per se, but rather what I wanna try to make them look like, i.e. how do the functions provided in G-Force help me make that happen?)

Now it looks like this. I tried switching x and y in other places, but it just looks wierder. Will switching the real and imaginary terms from the original equation help?
