zAniPoint(...)

Contents

Points derived from the _zPoint abstract class which move in relationship to a given geometric object of the complex plane at each update cycle

def zAniPoint

constructors:
returns:

a point which moves constrained to a given geometric object of the complex plane at each display update cycle, with the initial position and rate of movement determinable by keyword argument.

class zCirclingPoint

constructors:
  • zAniPoint(circle,<rate=integer>,<angle=numeric>)
  • zCirclingPoint(circle,<rate=integer>,<angle=numeric>)
returns:a point which moves around the circumference of the given complex circle_ , at a rate determined by the 'rate' keyword, and initial position as determined by the 'angle' keyword.

class zSlidingPoint

constructors:
  • zAniPoint(line, <rate=integer>,<ratio=numeric>)
  • zSlidingPoint(line, <rate=integer>,<ratio=numeric>)
returns:a point which moves along the given line , at a rate determined by the 'rate' keyword, and initial position as determined by the 'ratio' keyword.

class zRotatingPoint

constructors:
  • zAniPoint(zpoint1,zpoint2, <rate=integer>)
  • zRotatingPoint(zpoint1,zpoint2, <rate=integer>)
returns:the rotation of the second point argument induced by the rotation of the Riemann sphere , with the stereographic projection of the first point argmuent as axis of rotation .
