Spirograph generator
Draw hypnotic spirograph curves — the hypotrochoids and epitrochoids traced by a point on a circle rolling inside or outside a fixed one. Slide the fixed radius, rolling radius and pen offset and watch endless rosettes and stars redraw live, in a palette of your choice.

Frequently asked questions
What does Spirograph generator do?
Draw hypnotic spirograph curves — the hypotrochoids and epitrochoids traced by a point on a circle rolling inside or outside a fixed one. Slide the fixed radius, rolling radius and pen offset and watch endless rosettes and stars redraw live, in a palette of your choice.
What does a concrete case look like?
R = 100, r = 30, d = 60 → 10 — the tool shows every step in between, not just the final figure.
When would I actually use this?
Homework and site work alike: how much paint a wall takes, how much water a tank holds, whether a corner is square — and, on the coordinate side, the slope between two points, the distance across a plan, the midpoint of a span.
What is the most common mistake?
Mixing units inside one shape. Entering a length in centimetres and a width in metres gives an area wrong by a factor of a hundred, and the result looks perfectly plausible.
What else is filed next to it?
3D Distance Calculator, Angle Bisector Calculator (triangle) and Annulus (ring) area calculator share its section. They are not variants of it — being filed together is not the same as being alike — but that is where to look if this turned out not to be the tool you wanted.
Where do the figures come from?
The formulas are the classical ones and the results are exact to the precision shown — geometry does not change with the year or the country, so nothing here needs updating.
