In this demonstration, the "Function Graph: f(x,y)" window shows the
graph of f color coded by the sign of the partials derivatives.
Purple represents fx > 0 and fy > 0.
Red represents fx > 0 but fy < 0.
Blue represents fy > 0 but fx < 0.
White repsesents fx < 0 and fy < 0.
In the window, "fx(x,y) > 0", just that part of the
surface where the x-derivative is greater than zero is colored (in
red). The window "fy(x,y) > 0" allows you to view just
the region of the surface where fy is greater than zero (in
blue).
The rotations of these two windows are linked with the main window, so
even rotating the surface around you will see how the colored regions
from the main window are obtained by just "adding up" the colorations
of the minor windows. I.e. the coloring is purple if and only if both fx(x,y)
and fy(x,y) are greater than zero.
The "Fold Sets" window shows the fold
set in the x-direction in red, and the fold set in the y-direction in
blue. Their intersections are critical points of the graph.
