Iterator GDI

Native Win32/GDI dynamical-systems workbench for exploring logistic, tent, and sine maps. The app opens separate synchronized graph windows for bifurcation, cobweb, quadratic bridge, and cycle analysis.

Build

Open a Visual Studio tools command prompt with clang available, then run:

iterator_gdi.cmd

The script builds iterator_gdi.exe from the source files in this directory using -O3 -march=native.

Run

iterator_gdi.exe

Right-click any graph window for options. Left-click drag follows the active mode for that graph. Hover over bifurcation, cobweb, or quadratic bridge plots for a live crosshair numeric readout. Keyboard shortcuts are listed in the usage guide.

Documentation

See docs/usage.md.

Source Sharing

The source set is the C files, build script, README, and documentation. Runtime data and generated exports are local artifacts unless deliberately shared.

Generated Local Files

The app creates local runtime state and exports beside the executable:

• state/*.mru: session state, recent views, recent cycle periods, stable-cycle records
• exports/*: fixed-point logistic R export files
• *.exe, *.obj, *.pdb, *.ilk: build outputs

Share these files only when you specifically want to include a personal discovery set or compiled binary.
