A Python script that draw any svg file using the associated fourier series and epicycloids.
From the terminal use python -m main filename.svg coeffnumber [boolean_show] where:
-
filename.svgis the svg file to draw -
coeffnumberis the number of fourier coefficients to compute -
boolean_showto show/hide the circles and points
The program dependencies are numpy, matplotlib, cmath and svgpathtools.
The needed versions can be found and installed from requirements.txt
From the file :
We can get the following result :
| Number of coefficients | Result |
|---|---|
| 10 |  |
| 50 |  |
| 100 |  |
- Possibility to use jpeg or png images.
- Improving animation speed by removing circles with a small radius which do not add much details
