How do I make  animations of an ellipse? E.g. stretching, rotating, translating in both the x an y direction? I thought it was easy task, but after several hours I still have no solution.

Anyone?

kind regards,

Harry Garst

can be done like this:

with(Student[LinearAlgebra]):
M1 := <<1,1/3>|<1/2,-1/2>>:
ApplyLinearTransformPlot( M1, output = animation);

Hi Harry,

You might find this thread helpful. Robert Israel gives an example showing how to animate a torus using plottools[rotate] and plottools[torus]. The plottools package has commands for creating an ellipse, as well as commands for translating and scaling an object.
