How to use
Everything is controlled by the URL parameters. The parameters are:
radii is the list of radis of the circles; separated by commas. -ve numbers indicates an
inside circle.- \(p\) (not an URL parameter) is the point whose locus is being plotted.
p_dist is the distance between the p and the center of the last circle.p_offset is the angular offset (in radians) of p w.r.t the x-axis at the beginning.- \(t\) (not an URL parameter) is the main variable which changes the system. What is plotted is \(p(t)\)
t_min and t_max are the minimum and maximum value of the parameter t.t_steps is the number of steps between t_min and t_max. Think of this as resolution.animSpeed_x controls the speed of the animation. 0 means no animation; also the default.
