I ran across a program in my downloads and figured it deserved some notation. I’ve only put it to use once when looking into the Toomre-Q parameter (disk stability), but I can see where it may come in handy down the road. It’s basically a geometrical toy set called C.A.R.Metal. You can define angles/lines/circles/vectors/etc., then move those points and everything dynamically adjusts! Great for messing with angles and the like. Here’s an old image from my toying with it for reference:
angle1
So as an example, you could grab one of those points and move it about. As you move it around the numbers corresponding to those angles change and update dynamically.
