I have been trying to solve this Geometry problem from a few Weeks ago . But every time I failed . My approach to solve this problem is ---
As 3 points are in same distance that simply means The point we will found in the result that will be a Center of a Circle whose radius is The distance of those 3 points distinctly. Let 3 points are ( x1, y1, x2, y2, x3 , y3 ). SO , we can write,
(x1 - H)^2 + (y1 - K)^2 = (x2 - H)^2 + (y2 - K)^2
=> (x1^2 + y1^2 -x2^2 -y2^2) - 2H(x1-x2) - 2K(y1-y2) = 0
=> A - 2HX1 - 2KY1 = 0 ------ ( i )
(x2 - H)^2 + (y2 - K)^2 = (x3 - H)^2 + (y3 - K)^2
=> (x2^2 + y2^2 -x3^2 -y3^2) - 2H(x2-x3) - 2K(y2-y3) = 0
=> B - 2HX2 - 2KY2 = 0 ------- ( ii )
And then we can Solute this two equation in the following way :
So,
A - 2HX1 - ( (B - 2HX2) / Y2 ) * Y1 = 0 [ Putting the value of 2K from eqn ( ii ) ]
=> H = ( AY2 - BY1 ) / ( 2 * ( X1Y2 - X2Y1 ) ) ----- (iii)
And,
=> K = ( B - 2HX2 ) / 2Y2 ----- ( iv )
Now , if those points are previously Co-Linear then I will print " Impossible " . But If not then we will do the above's Calculation . If ( H, K ) are in the same distance from those 3 points ( x1, y1, x2, y2, x3 , y3 ) the Print ( H, K ) else print " Impossible ".
Is my approach correct ( My code give answers " Impossible " for all test. ) ? If not then why ? Give me some Idea that how can I solve it ?? Thanks in Advance .

Your method is a little complex.
A general form of a circle is
x^2 + y^2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0.
In this way, you can avoid the square for variables.
Given 3 points, you can solve D, E, and F replacing x and y by those points. (The coefficient of F is always 1 so you can solve D and E quickly using Cramer's rule, subtracting one equation from the other.)
When you get D & E, the coordinate of the center is (-D/2, -E/2). (So you can just ignore the F in the last step.) Note that when D or E is infinite, then it's impossible to find a center for that case.

Drawing markers on a quadratic curve

I am trying to place evenly-spaced markers/dots on a quadratic curve drawn with HTML Canvas API. Found a nice article explaining how the paths are calculated in the first place, at determining coordinates on canvas curve.
There is a formula, at the end, to calculate the angle:
function getQuadraticAngle(t, sx, sy, cp1x, cp1y, ex, ey) {
var dx = 2*(1-t)*(cp1x-sx) + 2*t*(ex-cp1x);
var dy = 2*(1-t)*(cp1y-sy) + 2*t*(ey-cp1y);
return Math.PI / 2 - Math.atan2(dx, dy);
}
The x/y pairs that we pass, are the current position, the control point and the end position of the curve - exactly what is needed to pass to the canvas context, and t is a value from 0 to 1. Unless I somehow misunderstood the referenced article.
I want to do something very similar - place my markers over the distance specified s, rather than use t. This means, unless I am mistaken, that I need to calculate the length of the "curved path" and from there, I could probably use the above formula.
I found a solution for the length in JavaScript at length of quadratic curve. The formula is similar to:
.
And added the below function:
function quadraticBezierLength(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3) {
let a, b, c, d, e, u, a1, e1, c1, d1, u1, v1x, v1y;
v1x = x2 * 2;
v1y = y2 * 2;
d = x1 - v1x + x3;
d1 = y1 - v1y + y3;
e = v1x - 2 * x1;
e1 = v1y - 2 * y1;
c1 = a = 4 * (d * d + d1 * d1);
c1 += b = 4 * (d * e + d1 * e1);
c1 += c = e * e + e1 * e1;
c1 = 2 * Math.sqrt(c1);
a1 = 2 * a * (u = Math.sqrt(a));
u1 = b / u;
a = 4 * c * a - b * b;
c = 2 * Math.sqrt(c);
return (
(a1 * c1 + u * b * (c1 - c) + a * Math.log((2 * u + u1 + c1) / (u1 + c))) /
(4 * a1)
);
}
Now, I am trying to space markers evenly. I thought that making "entropy" smooth - dividing the total length by the step length would result in the n markers, so going using the 1/nth step over t would do the trick. However, this does not work. The correlation between t and distance on the curve is not linear.
How do I solve the equation "backwards" - knowing the control point, the start, and the length of the curved path, calculate the end-point?
Not sure I fully understand what you mean by "space markers evenly" but I do have some code that I did with curves and markers that maybe can help you ...
Run the code below, it should output a canvas like this:
function drawBezierCurve(p0, p1, p2, p3) {
distance = 0
last = null
for (let t = 0; t <= 1; t += 0.0001) {
const x = Math.pow(1 - t, 3) * p0[0] + 3 * Math.pow(1 - t, 2) * t * p1[0] + 3 * (1 - t) * Math.pow(t, 2) * p2[0] + Math.pow(t, 3) * p3[0];
const y = Math.pow(1 - t, 3) * p0[1] + 3 * Math.pow(1 - t, 2) * t * p1[1] + 3 * (1 - t) * Math.pow(t, 2) * p2[1] + Math.pow(t, 3) * p3[1];
ctx.lineTo(x, y);
if (last) {
distance += Math.sqrt((x - last[0]) ** 2 + (y - last[1]) ** 2)
if (distance >= 30) {
ctx.rect(x - 1, y - 1, 2, 2);
distance = 0
}
}
last = [x, y]
}
}
const canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
ctx.beginPath();
drawBezierCurve([0, 0], [40, 300], [200, -90], [300, 150]);
ctx.stroke();
<canvas id="canvas" width=300 height=150></canvas>
I created the drawBezierCurve function, there I'm using a parametric equation of a bezier curve and then I use lineTo to draw between points, and also we get a distance between points, the points are very close so my thinking is OK to use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the distance, and the markers are just little rectangles.

How change the spiral movement in 2D space?

I have two points in 2D space as we can see in the figure to move from the blue point to the red points we can use the equation (1). Where b is a constant used to limit the shape of the logarithmic spiral, l is a random number in [−1,1], which is used to
control the indentation effect of the movement, D indicates the distance between blue points and the current point
I need another movement that can move from blue points to the red points like in the figure
You can use sinusoidal model.
For start point (X0, Y0) and end point (X1,Y1) we have vector end-start, determine it's length - distance between points L, and angle of vector Fi (using atan2).
Then generate sinusoidal curve for some standard situation - for example, along OX axis, with magnitude A, N periods for distance 2 * Pi * N:
Scaled sinusoid in intermediate point with parameter t, where t is in range 0..1 (t=0 corresponds to start point (X0,Y0))
X(t) = t * L
Y(t) = A * Sin(2 * N * Pi * t)
Then shift and rotate sinusoid using X and Y calculated above
X_result = X0 + X * Cos(Fi) - Y * Sin(Fi)
Y_result = Y0 + X * Sin(Fi) + Y * Cos(Fi)
Example Python code:
import math
x0 = 100
y0 = 100
x1 = 400
y1 = 200
nperiods = 4
amp = 120
nsteps = 20
leng = math.hypot(x1 - x0, y1 - y0)
an = math.atan2(y1 - y0, x1 - x0)
arg = 2 * nperiods* math.pi
points = []
for t in range(1, nsteps + 1):
r = t / nsteps
xx = r * leng
yy = amp * math.sin(arg * r)
rx = x0 + xx * math.cos(an) - yy * math.sin(an)
ry = y0 + xx * math.sin(an) + yy * math.cos(an)
points.append([rx, ry])
print(points)

How to find the third vertices of a triangle when lengths are unequal

I have two vertices of a triangle and the lengths are unequal. How to find the third vertex?
Translate all points so that P2 becomes the origin.
Then you solve
x² + y² = d2²
(x - x3)² + (y - y3)² = d3²
(mind the renumbering of d1).
By subtraction of the two equations,
(2x - x3).x3 + (2y - y3).y3 = d2² - d3²
which is a linear equation, of the form
a.x + b.y + c = 0
and in parametric form
x = x0 + b.t
y = y0 - a.t
where (x0, y0) is an arbitrary solution, for instance (- ac / (a² + b²), - bc / (a² + b²)).
Now solve the quadratic equation in t
(x0 + b.t)² + (y0 - a.t)² = d2²
which gives two solutions, and undo the initial translation.
function [vertex_1a, vertex_1b] = third_vertex(x2, y2, x3, y3, d1, d3)
d2 = sqrt((x3 - x2)^2 + (y3 - y2)^2); % distance between vertex 2 and 3
% Orthogonal projection of side 12 onto side 23, calculated unsing
% the Law of cosines:
k = (d2^2 + d1^2 - d3^2) / (2*d2);
% height from vertex 1 to side 23 calculated by Pythagoras' theorem:
h = sqrt(d1^2 - k^2);
% calculating the output: the coordinates of vertex 1, there are two solutions:
vertex_1a(1) = x2 + (k/d2)*(x3 - x2) - (h/d2)*(y3 - y2);
vertex_1a(2) = y2 + (k/d2)*(y3 - y2) + (h/d2)*(x3 - x2);
vertex_1b(1) = x2 + (k/d2)*(x3 - x2) + (h/d2)*(y3 - y2);
vertex_1b(2) = y2 + (k/d2)*(y3 - y2) - (h/d2)*(x3 - x2);
end

calculating parallel lines in a circle

I am calculating lines (2 sets of coordinates ) ( the purple and green-blue lines ) that are n perpendicular distance from an original line. (original line is pink ) ( distance is the green arrow )
How do I get the coordinates of the four new points?
I have the coordinates of the 2 original points and their angles. ( pink line )
I need it to work if the lines are vertical, or any other orientation.
Right now I am trying to calculate it by:
1. get new point n distance perpendicular to the two old points
2. find where the circle intersects the new line I have defined.
I feel like there is an easier way.
Similarly to #MBo's answer, let's assume that the center is (0,0) and that your initial two points are:
P0 = (x0, y0) and P1 = (x1, y1)
A point on the line P0P1 has the form:
(x, y) = c(x1 - x0, y1 - y0) + (x0, y0)
for some constant c.
Let (u, v) be the normal to the line P0P1:
(u, v) = (y1 - y0, x1 - x0) / sqrt((x1 - x0)^2 + (y1 - y0)^2)
A point on any of the lines parallel to P0P1 has the form:
(x, y) = c(x1 - x0, y1 - y0) + (x0, y0) +/- (u, v)* n {eq 1}
where n is the perpendicular distance between lines and c is a constant.
What remains here is to find the values of c such that (x,y) is on the circle. But these can be calculated by solving the following two quadratic equations:
(c(x1 - x0) + x0 +/- u*n)^2 + (c(y1 - y0) + y0 +/- v*n)^2 = r^2
where r is the radius. Note that these equations can be written as:
c^2(x1 - x0)^2 + 2c(x1 - x0)*(x0 +/- u*n) + (x0 +/- u*n)^2
+ c^2(y1 - y0)^2 + 2c(y1 - y0)*(y0 +/- v*n) + (y0 +/- v*n)^2 = r^2
or
A*c^2 + B*c + D = 0
where
A = (x1 - x0)^2 + (y1 - y0)^2
B = 2(x1 - x0)*(x0 +/- u*n) + 2(y1 - y0)*(y0 +/- v*n)
D = (x0 +/- u*n)^2 + (y0 +/- v*n)^2 - r^2
which are actually two quadratic equations one for each selection of the +/- signs. The 4 solutions of these two equations will give you the four values of c from which you will get the four points using {eq 1}
UPDATE
Here are the two quadratic equations (I've reused the letters A, B and C but they are different in each case):
A*c^2 + B*c + D = 0 {eq 2}
where
A = (x1 - x0)^2 + (y1 - y0)^2
B = 2(x1 - x0)*(x0 + u*n) + 2(y1 - y0)*(y0 + v*n)
D = (x0 + u*n)^2 + (y0 + v*n)^2 - r^2
A*c^2 + B*c + D = 0 {eq 3}
where
A = (x1 - x0)^2 + (y1 - y0)^2
B = 2(x1 - x0)*(x0 - u*n) + 2(y1 - y0)*(y0 - v*n)
D = (x0 - u*n)^2 + (y0 - v*n)^2 - r^2
Let's circle radius is R, circle center is (0,0) (if not, shift all coordinates to simplify math), first chord end is P0=(x0, y0), second chord end is P1=(x1,y1), unknown new chord end is P=(x,y).
Chord length L is
L = Sqrt((x1-x0)^2 + (y1-y0)^2)
Chord ends lie on the circle, so
x^2 + y^2 = R^2 {1}
Doubled area of triangle PP0P1 might be expressed as product of the base and height and through absolute value of cross product of two edge vectors, so
+/- L * n = (x-x0)*(y-y1)-(x-x1)*(y-y0) = {2}
x*y - x*y1 - x0*y + x0*y1 - x*y + x*y0 + x1*y - x1*y0 =
x * (y0-y1) + y * (x1-x0) + (x0*y1-x1*y0)
Solve system of equation {1} and {2}, find coordinates of new chord ends.
(Up to 4 points - two for +L*n case, two for -L*n case)
I cannot claim though that this method is simpler - {2} is essentially an equation of parallel line, and substitution in {1} is intersection with circle.

How to calculate points y position on arc? When i have radius, arcs starting and ending points

I'm trying to write a program on CNC. Basically I have circular arc starting x, y , radius and finishing x, y also I know the direction of the arc clockwise or cc. So I need to find out the value of y on the arc at the specific x position. What is the best way to do that?
I found similar problem on this website here. But i not sure how to get angle a.
At first you have to find circle equation. Let's start point Pst = (xs,ys), end point Pend = (xend,yend)
For simplicity shift all coordinates by (-xs, -ys), so start point becomes coordinate origin.
New Pend' = (xend-xs,yend-ys) = (xe, ye), new 'random point' coordinate is xr' = xrandom - xs, unknown circle center is (xc, yc)
xc^2 + yc^2 = R^2 {1}
(xc - xe)^2 + (yc-ye)^2 = R^2 {2} //open the brackets
xc^2 - 2*xc*xe + xe^2 + yc^2 - 2*yc*ye + ye^2 = R^2 {2'}
subtract {2'} from {1}
2*xc*xe - xe^2 + 2*yc*ye - ye^2 = 0 {3}
yc = (xe^2 + ye^2 - 2*xc*xe) / (2*ye) {4}
substitute {4} in {1}
xc^2 + (xe^2 + ye^2 - 2*xc*xe)^2 / (4*ye^2) = R^2 {5}
solve quadratic equation {5} for xc, choose right root (corresponding to arc direction), find yc
having center coordinates (xc, yc), write
yr' = yc +- Sqrt(R^2 -(xc-xr')^2) //choose right sign if root exists
and finally exclude coordinate shift
yrandom = yr' + ys
equation of a circle is x^2 + y^2 = r^2
in your case, we know x_random and R
substituting in knows we get,
x_random ^ 2 + y_random ^ 2 = R ^ 2
and solving for y_random get get
y_random = sqrt( R ^ 2 - x_random ^ 2 )
Now we have y_random
Edit: this will only work if your arc is a circular arc and not an elliptical arc
to adapt this answer to an ellipse, you'll need to use this equation, instead of the equation of a circle
( x ^ 2 / a ^ 2 ) + ( y ^ 2 / b ^ 2 ) = 1, where a is the radius along the x axis and b is the radius along y axis
Simple script to read data from a file called data.txt and compute a series of y_random values and write them to a file called out.txt

output += line[:-1] + ' | y = ' + str(y) + '\n'
else:
output += line + ' | y = ' + str(y)
