Help with 3-d plot

[Texas Aggie]

Does anyone on here have use of sophisticated 3-d plotting software?

[Klaynos]

Yes, what kind of thing would you like to plot.

 

I'd suggest R as a starting point.

It's possibly wacky, once I read the announcement to posters. I am a simple physician dabbling in physics.

 

I am curious what an alpha-helix 3-d plot of the McKenna time wave plot would look like.

[Klaynos]

I'm not sure about this but I seem to recall that wolfram alpha will probably plot that for you to an acceptable degree.

[Texas Aggie]

Ok. How do I access that. Is that the name of a software program or a blogger on this board?

 

Ok I found that it is a program. I don't have it. Once I get it how do I plot that particular wave pattern?

[Klaynos]

Wolfram alpha is a website.

 

I'm not sure without some research. Currently on a mobile device so that's not feasible.

the mckenna time wave plot is i ching nonsense and agrees with the mayan calendar misinterpretation that the end of the world is nigh (so you only have 4 1/2 months to learn how to use it)! I am not sure that wolframalpha.com could cope with the fractal bullshit required to generate the mckenna time wave without rebelling.

 

If you have the mathematical basis of the alpha-helix then maybe wolframalpha.com could punch out a 3d representation - alternatively mathematica (same people but not online version) is sometimes provided as a limited period trial software.
