Hi Everyone!
I have now been able to use Matplotlib on Window XP
platfrom! Thanks for thiose who helped me to get Enthought Edition
installed and working!
I have no idea how to do what I have wanted to do
for several years. I will try to describe the plot I need.
I need to be able to include this plot in a
Wikki.
A point on a small circle with radius r0, is
spiralling around (orthogonally) in a larger circle of radius r1, with these two
radii related by r0/r1 = alpha. The smaller circle sweeps around the r1 radius
to create a path, with the point (on r1) locus describing a torroid coil in
the surface of the ring torus.
This describes the plot when the torus is
at-rest, but when the ring torus is in linear motion, both r0 and r1 change
dimensions together, (keeping the same r0/r1 = alpha ratio), to create an
increasing or decreasing spiralling circular helix, that is a fuction of the
mass energy created by this motion. The point on the r0 circle is "like a snake
chasing its tail?"
When the torus is at-rest, the toroid path is
closed, but in-motion, the torroid is open and becomes an increasing or
decreasing spiral. This path will collapse back to a larger size if the energy
is decreasing, and shrink to a smaller size if the energy is
increasing.
If the at-rest motion plot can be created ( I
know that I can't do this plot by myself), then an animation of the ring
torus figure moving through space to create a spiral would help in visualizing
this figure. If this animation can slow down or speed up this would be
great..
Can anyone help me to create this
plot?
Thanks for any help!
