FAQ

• May I use this in my project? You can use any images created in this generator royalty free. Attribution would be great, but is not a requirement.
• Why does the clear/random button do nothing?  You need to click and hold - this is to avoid accidentally overwriting any edits. If it still doesn't work you can always delete orbits from settings and randomize by pressing ctrl Enter.
• Why can't I see the orbit I just changed?  Try setting the eccentricity to 0 or zooming out.
• Why are eccentric orbits like that? I never took calculus, so I'm pretty sure I got the math wrong. Keep eccentric orbits below 0.2 or above 1.1 for best results.
• How do I avoid orbits overlapping? Increase the distance of the larger overlapping orbit. For highly eccentric orbits though, there is nothing you can do.
• Why is there a straight vertical line over my screen? You have an orbit somewhere with an eccentricity of 3 or higher. Eccentricity should remain below 3 and ideally below 2.
• Is there any way to save between sessions? Not at the moment, but you can download your creation as an SVG or PNG.
• Can you add...? Probably! Leave a comment and if your idea is good, I'll add it as a feature.

Disclaimer #1: This is an early build! You may experience bugs.

Disclaimer #2: These systems are not realistic. Don't expect them to be, don't use them like they are. This is not a simulation.
