def AniPoint

constructors:
returns:

a point which moves constrained to a given geometric object at each display update cycle.

class CirclingPoint

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