Rolling circle on line
From JSXGraph Wiki
The underlying JavaScript code
var brd = JXG.JSXGraph.initBoard('jxgbox',{boundingbox:[-1,5,20,-1], keepaspectratio:true});
brd.suspendUpdate();
// Line
var line = brd.create('curve', [function(t) { return t;}, function(t){ return 1;}], {strokeWidth:6});
// Circle
var P = brd.create('point',[0,1],{name:'P', trace:true});
var C = brd.create('point',[0,2],{name:'C'});
var circle = brd.create('curve',[
function(t){var d = P.Dist(C),
beta = JXG.Math.Geometry.rad([C.X()+1,C.Y()],C,P);
t += beta;
return C.X()+d*Math.cos(t);
},
function(t){var d = P.Dist(C),
beta = JXG.Math.Geometry.rad([C.X()+1,C.Y()],C,P);
t += beta;
return C.Y()+d*Math.sin(t);
},
0,2*Math.PI],
{strokeWidth:6, strokeColor:'green'});
// Point on circle
var B = brd.create('glider',[0,2,circle],{name:'B', color:'blue',trace:false});
brd.create('segment',[C,B],{color:'black'});
brd.unsuspendUpdate();
var rol = JXG.Math.Numerics.createRoulette(line, circle, 0, Math.PI/20, 1, 100, [C,P,B]);
