This is an example of a parametric curve plot. The curve is described by the function

[math]\displaystyle{ [0,2\pi]\to{\mathbf R}^2, \quad t\mapsto {\cos(t)\choose \sin(t)}+c_1{\cos(f_1t)\choose \sin(f_1t)}+c_2{\cos(f_2t)\choose \sin(f_2t)} }[/math]

The sliders to adjust the parameters of this curve are from the jQuery UI package, see http://jqueryui.com. This example shows the seamless integration of JSXGraph into the web page.

Slightly related epicycloidal curves have been used by the ancient greeks to describe the orbits of the planets, see

The source code of this construction

This is the first experiment with the jQuery UI package. So, the code may not be optimized, yet. The main difficulty is to read the values of the sliders. This is done via four JavaScript variables [math]\displaystyle{ c1, c2, f1, f2 }[/math].
