The initial parameters are x,y and z average
position and velocity,gaussian scale lenght and
velocity dispersion value,time step and interval.
There is also and obtion for the type of calculation,
mass model and nature of gravitational field
There is also an obtion to include drag

The runs I did used the Dehnen and Binney gravitational
field model and no drag.

1. Standard case; y value of 8.5kpc,
x Vel of 220km/s,scale length of o.2kpc
and velocity dispersion of 20km/s
see movie
2. With double the velocity dispersion
see movie
3.With a lesser velocity dispersion(10km/s)
see movie
4.With an increased scale length(1kpc)
see movie
5.With a decrease scale length(0.1kpc)
see movie
6.Polar orbit(in the xz plane)
see movie
7. Polar orbit away from galactic center(12kpc)
