Properties of conics - simphysoftwares/SimPHY-docs GitHub Wiki

You can find different specific conic properties like its center, foci, pole of line, polar of a point, tangents on it from a point on it and from an external point, normals, etc. Like if you are given a curve and a point and you want to find the polar of this point wrt the given curve. Just

1. Click on the curve on whose respect we want to create the polar
2. Then click on the point which will act as a pole.

3. Here you can see how external tangents can be drawn to any conic, and how to find the pole of a conic wrt to a line.
