--- Comment #3 from cousteau <[email protected]> ---
I want to clarify that the main point of this report was not plotting arbitrary
functions nor rigorously accurate shapes, but rather to provide a shape that
*resembles* a "wave" or a "spring". This would be useful in the same way that
it's useful to have curved arrows, clouds, or smileys; i.e. to decorate
drawings and presentations.
The mathematical functions I wrote were just one way to generate them, although
I guess that approximating it with Bézier curves would be easier to implement
(it does not need to be an exact shape; just something that "looks like a
coil").
(I mentioned the cycloid and trochoid just because they were just particular
cases of "a coil in perspective", not because I thought those mathematical
shapes were necessary. Maybe it was a mistake to mention them since they're
out of the point of this report.)
