Wolfram Demonstrations Project

This Demonstration plots the points for which line segments drawn from two fixed points on the

axis have angle

. The locus consists of the arcs of two circles, with centers that move along the

axis as you vary

. For

, the arcs are semicircles and the locus is a circle.
