circles and dots

21 Aug 2024

A demo application showing circles on the sphere that divide six points into sets of three and three.

The application draws the seven circles which separate six dots so that there are three on each side. The position of the dots can be changed by manually dragging them, or by selecting the animateDots option in the menu. As the position of the dots changes, the collection of circles changes along with it.
