Mathematics for programming graphical rep of a carousel?

[pluviosilla]

I need to program a rotating slide photo carousel, and it is a bit tricky, because in addition to the rotation of the carousel that holds the "slide" images, you need to correctly rotate the individual slide images. The rotation of the individual slide image is obviously dependent on the rotation of the carousel, but how?

Does anyone know where I can find the equations that describe the relationship of the rotation of the slides to the rotation of the carousel?

Thanks.

I understand your need for mathematical equations to accurately program a rotating slide photo carousel. The relationship between the rotation of the carousel and the individual slide images can be described using trigonometric functions, specifically the sine and cosine functions. These functions can help determine the angle of rotation for each slide image based on the rotation of the carousel.

Additionally, it may be helpful to consider the radius of the carousel and the distance between each slide image. This can also impact the rotation of the individual slide images.

I suggest looking into resources on trigonometry and geometry to further understand the relationship between the rotation of the carousel and the individual slide images. There are also many online tutorials and forums where programmers share their approaches to programming a rotating slide photo carousel. I recommend seeking out these resources and experimenting with different equations to find the most accurate solution for your specific carousel design. Best of luck with your programming!
