An easier way to get a bifurcation plot

Hey guys I have been working in the past in obtaining bifurcation plots for different physical systems. There's a better way to get these pictures instead of getting the evolution at every parameter value of interest. This is called numerical continuation and basically involves tracking a curve. I plan to give a informal talk on how to do this and maybe even a demo on applying this technique on 14th June at 6.30 pm. Do mail me if you are interested at iitm.priya@gmail.com or sign up below.

first install TISEAN, like you've done already. Make sure R is up to date (v 2.15). you can try to install RTisean from CRAN

remove.packages("RTisean")

restart R download this: http://cl.ly/0I0b2P2L311y1q0q0y0n install it, it changes line 74 of nativeTISEAN.R which has some problems with file handling If you are golden, then:
