Window title:
DsTool: Periodic Orbits
Function:
The Periodic Orbits window allows the user to find periodic orbits and to do continuation  calculations for periodic orbits of vector fields.
Description:
The Periodic Orbits window is opened by selecting the Periodic Orbits option from the Panels menu button located in the Command window. The window contains parameters for controlling the finding of periodic orbits and doing continuation calculations. This window should not be used for mappings. Instead, the Fixed Points window should be used, with its Period field set to a positive integer.

Colorcoding is performed according to the stability type of objects: saddle orbits are colored green, attracting orbits are blue, and repelling orbits are red.
