Problem edit
there's slight problem: points lie on plane…! points marked as on animation are in fact hope that correcting this won't be much problem for author! :) nameless 14:35, 24 august 2o12 (UTC) what i wrote above is also wrong: points show themselves in the very end (on the line, after rectification of the curve) – this might seem to be little bit more problematic but i'm counting on author as for accuracy! ^_^ nameless 14:42, 24 august 2o12 (UTC) p.s. i hope i haven't made any more mistakes!
- You're right, technically, they should be best left in the plane. It's how I was originally going for it. However, that posed some technical and visual issues. First of all, I render the scalar field using a point cloud, and this wasn't playing very nicely with it, as the z-sorting of points kept messing up. I'd have to add the points using some fancier method that would be too tricky to be worth implementing in my current animation code.
- While the points in the surface may be slightly wrong, I don't believe it's incredibly misleading, as they're only being used to represent the endpoints of the curve and integral. The context wouldn't allow for a huge misconception of their meaning, I think, as they should only mean "start" and "end" points. So we should be in the clear. (At least I hope so!)

- Done. I used "November 2013" rather than "December 2013" though, as this is what the portal page says. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 21:49, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
