Intermediate Points, Number, Angle

Cycloid
This creates a sort of rolling curve. This curve is described by a point located on the circumference
of a circle as the circle rolls along a straight line. (This point can also be located inside or outside the
circle.) Cycloids, epicycloids and hypocycloids are particularly suited to rotating types of movement
such as walking, gear mechanisms and planetary orbits.
