Phase diagram for

The graph on the right is interactive; use your mouse on it (instructions). Don't you see the interactive graph? See configuration.
Rotate by dragging the mouse.
Zoom by rolling the mouse wheel, or holding [Shift] and dragging vertically.
Translate by holding [Ctrl] and dragging with the right button.
