Summary description: Draw articulated quadrilaterals
Announcement text:
An Articulated Quadrilateral is a four-bar linkage mechanism (four rods connected by hinges) that changes shape as its joints move, creating complex, predictable motions used in machines like pedal cranks, lamps, and even for generating curves. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-bar_linkage
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/pst-fourbarlinkage The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-fourbarlinkage/

pst-fourbarlinkage – Draw articulated quadrilaterals
An Articulated Quadrilateral is a four-bar linkage mechanism (four rods connected by hinges) that changes shape as its joints move, creating complex, predictable motions used in machines like pedal cranks, lamps, and even for generating curves, functioning as a simple, one-degree-of-freedom system with fascinating, non-intuitive movements and applications in engineering.
