For years I've been fascinated with harmonographs, even before seeing one at the SF Exploratorium. Of course it made me want to create a virtual one on the computer, but the equations modeling the movement of the x- and y-coordinates of the drawing point were kind of confusing.
Visual Python makes it easy to draw in 3-D, but for some reason the paths, even once drawn, start to glitch.
This guy did a great harmonograph in Javascript. Maybe it's time to break out some more JS on Glowscript.org.
I'll keep you posted.
