Window title:
DsTool: Fixed Points
Function:
The Fixed Points window allows the user to find equilibria and to compute one dimensional stable and unstable manifolds.
Description:
The Fixed Points window is opened by selecting the Fixed Points option from the Panels menu button located in the Command window. The window contains parameters for controlling the computation of stable and unstable manifolds.

Color coding is performed according to the stability type of objects: saddle points are marked as green crosses, sinks are blue triangles, and sources are red squares. Furthermore, unstable manifolds are plotted in red and stable manifolds are plotted in blue.
