## What is HelixPlot?

Discover the beauty of mathematics with HelixPlot, the ultimate 3D graphing calculator for parametric equations and complex numbers.

Whether you are a student visualizing calculus concepts, a teacher demonstrating vector functions, or an engineer analyzing waveforms, HelixPlot turns abstract formulas into interactive 3D visualizations instantly.

▸ REAL-TIME 3D RENDERING
Type your equation and watch it come to life. HelixPlot renders parametric curves, surfaces, and complex functions in stunning 3D with smooth animations and glowing tracer effects.

▸ THREE VISUALIZATION MODES
- Parametric Curves: r(t) = (x, y, z) rendered as smooth 3D tubes
- Surfaces: z = f(x,y) with height-based color mapping
- Complex Functions: Visualize complex numbers in 3D space

▸ 47 BUILT-IN PRESETS
Explore famous equations across five scientific fields:
- Mathematics: Lissajous curves, Rose curves, Archimedean spirals
- Physics: Damped oscillators, Kepler orbits, Wave packets
- Chemistry: Arrhenius curves, Lennard-Jones potential
- Biology: Logistic growth, Michaelis-Menten kinetics
- Earth Science: Tidal patterns, Seismic waves

▸ PROFESSIONAL LATEX EDITOR
Input equations naturally with our visual LaTeX editor. Supports fractions, roots, integrals, Greek letters, and all standard mathematical notation.

▸ INTERACTIVE PARAMETER CONTROL
Adjust constants with real-time sliders and see how parameters affect your graph instantly. Perfect for understanding mathematical relationships.

▸ MULTIPLE VIEW MODES
- Diagram View: Full 3D perspective with projection shadows
- Quad View: See 3D + XY + XZ + YZ planes simultaneously
- Projection Planes: Customizable colors and transparency

▸ ANIMATION PLAYBACK
Watch curves draw themselves with smooth animations. Control playback speed (0.5x to 5x), scrub through time, and track coordinates in real-time.

▸ EXPORT & SHARE
- Save high-resolution PNG images for reports and presentations
- Generate shareable links so others can view your exact visualization
- Copy equation code for use in other projects

▸ CUSTOMIZATION
- Light and Dark themes
- Customizable projection plane colors
