Catenary

Just an assortment of shape and lattic generators made from Catenary Curves.

Sample code:

import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from ipywidgets import interact, FloatSlider, IntSlider

Define the catenary function in 2D

def catenary_2d(x, a): return a * np.cosh(x / a)

Function to plot a rotated hexagon with catenary curves
