spirograph()

template<std::size_t N>

void spirograph::spirograph	(	std::array< std::pair< double, double >, N > *	points,
		double	l,
		double	k,
		double	rot )

Generate spirograph curve into arrays x and y such that the i^th point in 2D is represented by (x[i],y[i]). The generating function is given by:

\begin{eqnarray*} x &=& R\left[ (1-k) \cos (t) + l\cdot k\cdot\cos \left(\frac{1-k}{k}t\right) \right]\\ y &=& R\left[ (1-k) \sin (t) - l\cdot k\cdot\sin \left(\frac{1-k}{k}t\right) \right] \end{eqnarray*}

where

• \(R\) is the scaling parameter that we will consider \(=1\)
• \(l=\frac{\rho}{r}\) is the relative distance of marker from the centre of inner circle and \(0\le l\le1\)
• \(\rho\) is physical distance of marker from centre of inner circle
• \(r\) is the radius of inner circle
• \(k=\frac{r}{R}\) is the ratio of radius of inner circle to outer circle and \(0<k<1\)
• \(R\) is the radius of outer circle
• \(t\) is the angle of rotation of the point i.e., represents the time parameter

Since we are considering ratios, the actual values of \(r\) and \(R\) are immaterial.

Template Parameters

N	number of points = size of array

Parameters

[out]	points	Array of 2D points represented as std::pair
	l	the relative distance of marker from the centre of inner circle and \(0\le l\le1\)
	k	the ratio of radius of inner circle to outer circle and \(0<k<1\)
	rot	the number of rotations to perform (can be fractional value)
