A wheel rolling animation.

A single point on the circumference of the wheel plotting the famous cycloid shape.

Velocities are plotted of the selected point in the image.

Cycloids have several interesting attributes and are considered something the ancient masters never dealt with.

The history and some of those attributes are collected here:
