Applet: Graph of a function that parametrizes an ellipse
Applet loading
Graph of the vector-valued function $\adllp(t)=(3\cos \frac{t^2}{2\pi})\vc{i} + (2 \sin \frac{t^2}{2\pi}) \vc{j}$. This function parametrizes an ellipse. Its graph, however, is the set of points $(t,3\cos \frac{t^2}{2\pi},2 \sin \frac{t^2}{2\pi})$, which forms a curve that spirals more quickly with increasing $t$.

General information about three.js applets
The applet was made using three.js and requires Javascript as well as a browser that supports WebGL. For most three.js applets, you can drag with the mouse to rotate the view, drag with the right button to pan, and zoom in/out with the mouse wheel. Many applets contain points that you can drag to change values of variables.
