Tom,
You're right! I guess I didn't realize that you could have another
FunctionType as one of the arguments for the constructor of FunctionType.
Checking the javadoc's, I found that FunctionType takes MathTypes not
RealTypes. Thanks for the info! Does anyone know when Ugo's animation
tutorial will be online?
