String art (as tangents to a curve)
Based on the "string art" craft/project of connecting nails along intersecting axes with string.
Either drag point A along its axis or drag the corresponding slider a.
Alternatively, with a keyboard, you may select the point or slider and then use ← → or ↓↑ keys to adjust.
- a = the distance of A from the origin
- b = the distance of B from the origin
- a + b = the constant sum of the distances between the points and the origin
- θ = angle between axes that points A & B travel along
