Why does the graph value point "reset" when temperature is changed? #51

Closed phet-steele closed 5 years ago

phet-steele commented 5 years ago

Why does the graph value point jump to the peak of the curve whenever I change temperature? I don't have a case for why it should, but I do know it is somewhat annoying that it does. This prevents me from ever watching the values change with temperature at a location on the curve that I want.

For phetsims/QA/issues/215.

I see your point. I think that both visualizations are important. In one side, to see how the pack values change when the temperature change, and in the other side, set a wavelength and see how the spectral radiance change with the temperature.

I don't know if is posible do both. I think that si better to ask this in a design meeting.

In the design meeting was decide that the actual behavior, where the dot moving with the peak is the the better for this simulation. Closing !
