Straightest Geodesics on Triangulations
In the model panel you can choose a discrete surface, on which the discrete geodesics shall be shown. Pick a starting point for the geodesic by holding "i" pressed and clicking at any point of the surface.
Curve panel controls:
| Slider "Length" | Analytic length of geodesic curve. |
| Slider "Direction" | Starting Direction of geodesic curve. The direction is given by an angle in the tangent space at the selected point. |
| Slider "Element Index" | Index of the element, which contains the starting point of the geodesic curve. |
