• An animation by Dean Moore:

Hypotrochoid. Written by Dean Moore, February 2008

• Inspiration:

• But a Sage newbie & out to do projects & learn more, one day I was surfing Wikipedia and hit < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotrochoid >, saw the animated graph, and thought, ... "I bet I can make Sage do that." Never one to back from a challenge, I did it. A few mistakes & wrong turns, at times some strong language & threatening the computer with violence, a few questions to Sage support groups, but, I finally pounded out code that worked. I named it "Hypotrochoid," as animating this was the original inspiration, but the code easily animates other graphs. What this program does: This program animates (not just "draws," but "animates") graphs of several relations, the hypotrochoid, the hypocycloid, the limacon (or "limacon of Pascal"; Sage doesn't like the French character in the original), the cardioid, the epitrochoid, and the epicycloid. The parametric equations that define a hypotrochoid follow; the parameter

  is *t*; for hypotrochoid we have R, r, d > 0, R > r > 0:

 x-coordinate: x = (R - r)*cos(t) + d*cos(((R - r)/r)*t)                       
 y-coordinate: y = (R - r)*sin(t) - d*sin(((R - r)/r)*t)                       

• For a epitrochoid, the equations are:

 x = (R + r)*cos(t) - d*cos(((R + r)/r)*t)                                                          
 y = (R + r)*sin(t) - d*sin(((R + r)/r)*t)                                     

• The parametric equations are important in computing the period of the relation (below). These parametric equations live all over the Internet; Wikipedia has:

  • * for the hypochotroid: < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotrochoid >.

  See also < http://linuxgazette.net/133/luana.html >

  • * For the epitrochoid, see < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epitrochoid >.

  • * For the Limacon (Sage completely choked and spewed error messages on the
  French character in the original, even in a comment) of Pascal, see

  < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lima%C3%A7on >.

  • * For the cardioid, see < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardioid >.

  • * For the epitrochoid, see < < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epitrochoid >

  • * For the hypocycloid, see < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocycloid >

  • * For the Deltoid Curve, see < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deltoid_curve >.

  A few further comments: Some curves of the "roulette" family (see

  < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roulette_%28curve%29 > may be easily animated with this program, as follows: 1) The epitrochoid (use the negative of "small" radius *r*, easy, puts

  • rotating circle on the outside.

  2) The hypocycloid, by setting 0 < r < R, d = r. 3) The limacon (or "limacon of Pascal"; Sage doesn't like the French

  • character in the original), use r < 0, R = abs(r).

  4) The epicycloid, use r < 0 (put rotating circle on outside), d = r

  5) The cardioid, r < 0 d = r

To draw different graphs, vary that parameters *R* (fixed circle's radius), *r* (rotating circle's radius), and *d* (length of "bar" from rotating circle), below; other parameters may be tweaked at will.

Of some note, the *epitrochoid* is the "epicycle" curve of Ptolemaic system astronomy; one project is to animate some of the Ptolemaic system, but this is for the future.

First: I use the same trig functions, over an over again. Why re-invent the wheel & waste computer time? Put the needed trig functions in arrays & "recycle" them as needed.

sin1 = [ 0 for i in range(limit) ] # First
sin2 = [ 0 for i in range(limit) ] # define
cos1 = [ 0 for i in range(limit) ] # arrays, ...
cos2 = [ 0 for i in range(limit) ]

increment = 0 # Adding a bunch of numbers is more efficient than multiplying
              # *i*pi*step, but it is a trivial difference.

multiplier = pi*rDiff/r # Efficiency!  Don't repeat the same math
                        # countless times.

for i in srange(limit): # Note above definition of parameter *limit*, the
                        # factor of 2, and the below trig functions.  All
                        # this program's loops go *limit*.

    sin1[i] = sin(increment*pi)         # Now fill
    cos1[i] = cos(increment*pi)         # arrays
    sin2[i] = sin(increment*multiplier) # with our trig
    cos2[i] = cos(increment*multiplier) # functions.

    increment += step                   # End *i*-loop.

The next are described by names, but a few notes:

• * The parameter *fixedCircle* is merely a circle of radius *R* centered at the origin.

I animated it, as that makes it appear in all frames. It never moves.

• * The parameter *rotatingCircle* is more computation-intense. It's center is on the

circle at *rDiff* from the edge of the fixed circle; its radius is *r*, and it rotates about the fixed circle a total of *circle2PI* times. Find any internet reference on these curves to see it.

• * The parameter *centerPoints* is solely to make the rotating circle look nicer,

a clear center.

• * The parameter *bar* is the "bar" extending from the center of the rotating circle,

that follows its rotation around the fixed circle. It always emanates from the same center as *fixedCircle*, -- see *fixedCircle* documentation, above -- and its terminal point comes from the parametric equation of a hypotrochoid (top).

• * The parameter *pointAtPen* makes a point where the end of the bar draws the figure,

of the same color as the final curve. Note it is at the same point as the terminal point of the "bar."
