This applet demonstrates the geometric construction of a parabola's locus. Based on the definition of a parabola as the set of points equidistant from a fixed point (focus) and a fixed line (directrix), it uses segments, orthogonal lines, and perpendicular bisectors to locate the moving point and trace its trajectory. It visually illustrates the geometric properties and generation principle of con
