The system discussed here avoids these problems by requiring only a littlescripting on behalf of the author, and a user with a web-browser with JavaScript.IntroductionThe system described in this paper easily allows a user to create web-based animations of linearsystems while requiring no web-programming experience.. S/he simply writes a simple script.The system is described mathematically by using a state-space model (i.e, A, B, C and Dmatrices) with initial conditions and optional input functions. The drawing to be animated isdescribed in terms of graphics primitives such as masses, springs, resistors, and capacitors.System
