Summary description: Create animations of a spherical trochoid
Announcement text:
This package simulates the generation of a spherical trochoid by a point on a circle rolling without sliding along the edge of another circle, but on the same sphere. For an pdf animation one needs the AdobeReader for viewing it. A gif animation (see documentation) can be viewed with several viewers (see subdirectory "/animations").
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/pst-sphericaltrochoid The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-sphericaltrochoid/
