PlaneCurveData

For general access to the Wolfram Knowledgebase, use entities of type PlaneCurve instead of PlaneCurveData.

PlaneCurveData[entity,property]

gives the value of the specified property for the plane curve entity.

PlaneCurveData[{entity1,entity2,…},property]

gives a list of property values for the specified plane curve entities.

PlaneCurveData[entity,property,annotation]

gives the specified annotation associated with the given property.

Basic Examples  (8)

Use for entity discovery:

Find a list of sample entities of plane curves:

Use to discover properties of a plane curve:

Find properties of a plane curve:

Display an image of a plane curve:

Return people associated with a plane curve:

Find a list of sample entity classes of plane curves:

Find plane curves in a given class:

Properties & Relations  (2)

Using PlaneCurveData is equivalent to calling EntityValue on the corresponding entity and property:

Evaluate PlaneCurveData with "Classes" argument:

The above is equivalent to evaluating EntityClassList of the entity type "PlaneCurve":

Possible Issues  (1)

Entity classes cannot be given as bare strings:

Specifying an explicit EntityClass works as intended:

This is equivalent to calling EntityList on the EntityClass:

Interactive Examples  (1)

Dynamically plot the tangent and normal vectors of the trifolium curve as a function of parameter:

Neat Examples  (1)
