§ 6: Animated 2D and 3D Graphics

• 2D Animations
• Moving Point Animations
• TNB Frame

2D Animations You may present simple animations, like the one to the right, that demonstrate the affect of a parameter on an algebraic function. The WWW reader may change various settings about the animation, including the animation parameter range. Go ahead and experiment with this interactive: change some of the data inputs to see how the graph is affected.

Moving Point Animations A very effective type of animation is the moving point animation, where a point follows the path of a curve. The WWW reader may change various settings about the animation, including the animation parameter range. Go ahead and experiment with this interactive: change some of the data inputs to see how the graph is affected.

TNB Frame Here is an animation featuring the TNB Frame from Vector Calculus. The WWW reader may change the input function to see how it affects the TNB animation. The color scheme is: Red = Tangent Bold Red = Unit Tangent (T) Blue = Acceleration Bold Blue = Unit Normal (N) Brown = Unit Binormal (B) Go ahead and experiment with this interactive: change some of the data inputs to see how the graph is affected.
