Question

How can I draw a curve that follows an equation?

Hi everyone

I am trying to write a script to draw geometric figures in Illustrator.

I want to achieve this by writing an equation into the ESTK, for example x^2 + y^2 =100.

This should generate a circle with a radius of 10 units.

Does anyone know if this is possible?  If so, please would you share your technique with me?  Also if you have an example script this would be even better!

Thank you

Not enough informations.

But this can help you a little bit:

// 100 = x^2 + y^2
// 10 = square root ( x^2 + y^2)
// if you know the x and the y-value then:
var x = 6;
var y = 8;
 var yourRadius = (Math.sqrt (Math.pow ( x, 2 ) + Math.pow ( y, 2 ) ));
 alert (yourRadius)
