Curves with Parameters (cwp)

About

Our tool “curves with parameters” (cwp) is an interactive tool to experience plane curves with parameters within a browser.

cwp has been developped by Oliver Labs (MO-Labs.com) based on the library CindyJS (this library has been developed by people at Munich university and others). cwp‘s current version is cwp 2018/09/19-a. cwp which is (by far) not perfect yet. It has been created for the purpose of my “equations and shapes” blog on math-sculpture.com where I am already able to use it for some interactive illustrations.

Feel free to contact me (oliver@MO-Labs.com) if you have any suggestions or comments.

Documentation

There is currently no documentation of cwp. If you want to use cwp in a project of yours, the best way is to start with an example of mine, such as those in my first post Equations for lines and circles. For a version using later features of the software (which do not exist yet at the time I am writing this), you should, of course, check out a more recent post using advanced features.

Helper Software

cwp uses CindyJS. CindyJS has been developped by people at the Technical University at Munich, and others. CindyJS is a javascript library with dynamic geometry features, allowing to develop apps using a combination of dynamic geometry and an internal programming language called cindyscript. cwp uses both features.

CindyJS is licensed under the Apache 2 licence.
