Orthogonal Level Curves: Pan & Zoom

u(x,y) = Re f = constant v(x,y) = Im f = constant - - - branch cut
 
Drag to pan, scroll to zoom. Where f′(z) ≠ 0 the blue and red curves cross at right angles. Curves fade where they crowd together; shaded regions (around poles, or where |f′| is large) hold more curves than the screen can show.
