Base Geometry
Linear (Standard Trochoid)
Epitrochoid (Outside Circle)
Hypotrochoid (Inside Circle)
Fixed Radius (R)
Rolling Radius (r)
Tracing Distance (d)
If d = r, it's a standard cycloid.
Rotation (t):
0
Clear Drawing
Professor's Tip:
Set
d > r
to see the curve form loops (Prolate). Set
d < r
for a smoother wave (Curtate).
