Dissection of One Quadrilateral to Another
Dissection of One Quadrilateral to Another
This Demonstration shows a quadrilateral-to-quadrilateral dissection. Each quadrilateral is dissected to its quad elements, which lie in a strip. The two strips intersect in a parallelogram and determine the parts of the dissection. The parameter is the length of a side of the parallelogram, is the angle at basis, and determines the length of the other side. The initial stage of the dissection corresponds to both the "translate" and "rotate" sliders being set to 1.
