Fourier_drawing

A Python script that draw any svg file using the associated fourier series and epicycloids.

Usage

From the terminal use python -m main filename.svg coeffnumber [boolean_show] where:

• filename.svg is the svg file to draw

• coeffnumber is the number of fourier coefficients to compute

• boolean_show to show/hide the circles and points

Dependencies

The program dependencies are numpy, matplotlib, cmath and svgpathtools.

The needed versions can be found and installed from requirements.txt

Example

From the file :

We can get the following result :

Number of coefficients	Result
10
50
100

What I plan on adding

• Possibility to use jpeg or png images.
• Improving animation speed by removing circles with a small radius which do not add much details
