6.6 Exercises

Ex. 1: Write a function that plots an ellipse given its center coordinates (x,y), the half axis a, and b rotation angle .

Ex. 2: Write a short program that takes a 2D array, for example, the preceding Mandelbrot contour image, and iteratively replace each value by the average of its neighbors. Update a contour plot of the array in a figure window to animate the evolution of the contours. Explain the behavior.

Ex. 3: Consider an  matrix or image with integer values. The mapping

is an example of a mapping of a toroidal square grid of points onto itself. This has the interesting property that it distorts the image by shearing and then moving the pieces outside the image back using the modulo function, mod. Applied iteratively, this results in randomizing the image in a way that eventually returns the original. Implement the following sequence,
