Chunk 54 sine in action

I'm writing chunk 54 Sine in action. I've not really kept up with posting regular updates, but thought I'd post the program that I will be writing about.

This program plots a sine function, by creating an image and then colouring the pixels of the image based on their distance from the plotted function.

The sine function is adjusted using different functions to produce varied output, depending on the parameters selected.

The output looks something like this




The full write up will follow shortly, but for the moment here is the program:






/*
// Chunk 54 - Sine in Action
// Plots a sine function by colouring surrounding pixels
// in relation to their proximity to the sine wave
*/

float theta0 ; //Start angle
float dTheta0; // Increment start angle 'angular velocity'
float dTheta; // Value for incrementing theta, a function of period

float amplitude; // maximum height of wave
float amplitude0; //intial undamped amplitude
float damping; //decrase in height over period of wave
float frequency; //repetitions of wave within 2Pi radians

int count = 1;//use to reverse gradient
int range; //range for vertical movement of function
int colorChoice; //colour type to plot
int adjustmentChoice; // choice of funtion to adjust postion of sine wave

PImage img;
void setup() {
size(500, 500);

if ( frameCount % range == 0){

//set colours of image

color c; //colour of plotted point x,y based on intColor
float adjSinWave; // y value to plot colour around

//plot sin function by colouring surrounding points
for (int x = 0; x < img.width; x++) {
