A colleague, L.J. Moffitt, asked me how the graphs produced by the
following code might be smoothed so as to avoid the jaggedness,
especially the "staircasing".
(This is going to be projected, and at a typical projection resolution
of 1024 x 768, it looks even worse.)
I tried all sorts of ploys, like drastically increasing PlotPoints and
PlotDivision; lowering the Thickness in PlotStyle; and even breaking up
the domain into two subintervals, one where the graph is more level and
the other where the graph is rising rapidly. Nothing seemed to help.
p[x_, L_] := (50.*L)/((1000. - 1.*x)*(-9.025*^8 + L + 1000.*x^2))
<<Graphics`Animation`
Animate[
Plot[p[x,L],{x, 0, 950},
PlotStyle->{AbsoluteThickness[3]},
PlotRange->{.1,.7},
AxesLabel->{"Inspection Rate","Robustness"},
PlotPoints->10000, PlotDivision->50,
AxesStyle->{RGBColor[0,0,1],Thickness[0.02]},
ImageSize->600,
Background->RGBColor[.1,.2,.7]],
{L,1000000000., 1000000000.+700000000., 10000000}]
Any suggestions that I might pass along to him?
