I need to plot the path the tip of a specific vector draws, when the vector is rotated around certain axis for some angels
as a basic example: start vector is (0,0,1) rotation around axis (0,1,0) for an angle of (pi/2) rotation around axis (0,0,1) for an angle of (pi) so the path should show something like starting at the bottom, go up to the equator plane and then turn around the equator to the other side this could also be expressed in terms of a point moving on a sphere ... a graphical example would be like the path C in this figure http://physics.aps.org/view_image/2213/medium/4 does anyone happen to know how i could easily implement something like that? with best regards and thanks for your help/suggestions q -- The king who needs to remind his people of his rank, is no king.
