Interactive Simulation of the Hyperbolic Isometry
In the model below, the grey line is the image of the black line under the hyperbolic
isometry. The second black line has two red end points. The red
points are the fixed points on the boundary characterizing the
transformation. The unique line determined by the red points is
common orthogonal to the two reflections that compose the isometry.
You can move the red points with the mouse to observe the behavior of
the black line under various hyperbolic transformations. The slider
beneath the model adjusts the parameter g that runs between
0.1 and 10. The parameter g, controls the amount by which
points are "translated" under the isometry. (The setting g =
1 is the identity.)
