Polygon Vortex Generated by Iterative Polygons and Vector Translation
2020-07-20 13:44
This GeoGebra applet demonstrates how to generate a polygon vortex pattern using vector translation and the IterationList command. By defining an initial polygon and translation vectors, combined with iterative algorithms, it dynamically visualizes the continuous translation and transformation effects of polygons on a plane. The construction involves fundamental geometric objects such as polygons,
