Hello Everybody

My name is Emmanuel and i live in Paris, France. I work in insurance and i am an actuary. 

I am a new maple user because i wanted to have some fun redoing some mathematics. (I studied mathematic 30 years ago).

I would like to develop an animation with epicyles to draw something. 

(there is a famous one on youtube with homer simpson)

My idea is to embed an image with a simple drawing, get the coordonate from the points and apply a complex fourier transfor to get the parameters and make an animation.

I found the way to make the animation, to emben the image. .But i cant find how to get a maxtrix or a vector (i dont know what is the best ) of the coordinate of the point of the drawing. Does any of you have an idea to do it ? 

Thanks a lot
