Plot Smoothing Example

If you download the NetLogo application, this model is included. You can also Try running it in NetLogo Web

WHAT IS IT?

This code example shows you how to plot a "smoothed" version of a jagged line. When you run the model, the black line is the original line, and the blue line is the smoothed version.

The amount of smoothing is controlled by the SMOOTHNESS slider.

The black line is generated by doing a one-dimensional random walk.

THINGS TO NOTICE

The very simple method used to do smoothing causes the smoothed line to lag a bit behind the original line, that is, it appear shifted to the right.
