2004-09-23.txt:19:54:36: <fizzie> f2[x_, y_] := x^3 + 3x y^2 - 3x + i(y^3 + 3x^2y - 3y), where 'i' is the imaginary unit. when you plot the magnitude of that as a surface, it's as clean and smooth as.. well, as any function you'd like to name, but the argument plot..
2004-09-23.txt:20:08:39: <fizzie> and actually while the magnitude plot with abs() looks smooth, looking at it with the ranges [-2, 2] reveals otherwise.

2007-12-13.txt:11:42:37: <oklopol> dbc: what do you mean by "smoothly"? do you hear the clicks between notes, and does the sound "break"... not sure what the correct term is...
2007-12-13.txt:14:34:35: <dbc> (I wasn't even thinking fade in, just out. Though fading in as well, somewhat quicker, would indeed sound more realistic than an abrupt start. What I was thinking about the start of each note is to arrange them so that all the sine functions are at x=0, y=0 at the start of the note they're part of. I.e. use the note as the basis for the x-scale and not the whole piece, assuming that's what you're doing now.. That will be as smooth a start a

2008-07-16.txt:16:19:14: <AnMaster> "The smoothsort algorithm [1] [2] is a variation of heapsort developed by Edsger Dijkstra in 1981. Like heapsort, smoothsort's upper bound is O(n log n). The advantage of smoothsort is that it comes closer to O(n) time if the input is already sorted to some degree, whereas heapsort averages O(n log n) regardless of the initial sorted state. Due to its complexity, smoothsort is rarely used."

2009-09-05.txt:16:14:28: <fizzie> This Logitech illuminated has the windows-logo-emboss-thing, and I personally don't really notice it that much; it looks to have a bith smoother rim around the logo than in that picture, though.

2010-08-29.txt:01:19:42: <alise> LOL @ 2-bit smoothing
2010-08-29.txt:01:19:47: <alise> That does not work, SmoothType.
2010-08-29.txt:01:21:44: <alise> 4-bit smoothing looks fine
2010-08-29.txt:01:22:01: <alise> especially at large type sizes it's very smooth
2010-09-06.txt:00:20:15: <alise_> NTSC is smoother with movement but less defined, PAL is less smooth with movement but better defined
2010-09-06.txt:20:42:38: <fizzie> Vorpal: It might be easier to do it with a script; there are some smoothing options, but I'm not sure if they include windowed-average.
2010-09-06.txt:20:43:37: <Vorpal> fizzie, I don't want to smooth the curve between the data points. Just average the 20 samples for problem size = 10000000 and so on
2010-09-06.txt:20:57:31: <Vorpal> fizzie, the smoothing stuff seems to work though
2010-09-06.txt:21:00:17: <fizzie> Vorpal: Yeah, it seems to be an architectural limitation. If you use a smoothing option, it handles the plotting as if it were a function, and a function can't be plotted with "linespoints" (because it has no particular points; it's just sampled at suitable intervals).
2010-09-16.txt:18:28:08: <fizzie> It can do spline smoothing if you want.
2010-09-16.txt:18:29:28: <fizzie> You can add "smooth csplines/acsplines/bezier/sbezier" for different sorts of curve-fit-smoothing.
2010-09-16.txt:18:29:31: <alise> <fizzie> It can do spline smoothing if you want.
2010-09-16.txt:18:29:59: <Vorpal> alise, I forgot, since I needed the line points thingy and the smoothing didn't work with that style
2010-09-16.txt:18:30:25: <Vorpal> fizzie, "with smoothing unique"  or such iirc?
2010-09-16.txt:18:32:25: <Vorpal> then you need some other smoothing function
2010-09-16.txt:19:13:57: <fizzie> Anyway, the Y scaling is somewhat messy thanks to the smoothing.
2010-09-16.txt:21:41:01: <Vorpal> fizzie, applying some sort of smoothing function might be interesting to make it easier to actually interpret the data in the noisy areas
2010-09-17.txt:19:37:33: <fizzie> Yeah, it should now be 3* the width and twice the height, and maybe with a bit better smoothing window too. Assuming it works.
2010-09-17.txt:20:56:15: <fizzie> Heh, you *can* get gnuplot to produce histograms: just use something like "plot 'data' using (0.2*int($1/0.2)):2 smooth frequency" -- the 0.2*int(x/0.2) bit collapses bins into one X value, and "smooth frequency" makes it sum together such values.
