Mathematics for programming graphical rep of a carousel?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the mathematical equations necessary for programming a rotating slide photo carousel. Specifically, it addresses the relationship between the rotation of the carousel and the individual slide images. Participants seek precise equations that define how the rotation of the carousel affects the orientation of each slide image. Understanding these equations is crucial for achieving a realistic and functional carousel effect in programming.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of trigonometry and rotation matrices
  • Familiarity with programming languages such as JavaScript or Python
  • Knowledge of graphical transformations in computer graphics
  • Experience with animation techniques in web development
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "trigonometric functions for rotation" to understand the underlying mathematics
  • Explore "CSS animations for image rotation" to implement visual effects
  • Learn about "canvas API for JavaScript" for advanced graphical representations
  • Investigate "3D transformations in CSS" for enhanced carousel effects
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for web developers, graphic designers, and programmers interested in creating interactive image carousels and enhancing their understanding of mathematical concepts in graphical programming.

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.
