]]> Comment on Parallel to a Parabola? by Steve Wait https://jclevelandtran.com/2014/06/21/parallel-to-a-parabola/#comment-2908 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 12:36:00 +0000 http://rootsoftheequation.wordpress.com/?p=608#comment-2908 From the better late than never files, this may be of some help for an offset or parallel curve to the Parabola.

In the case of:
y = a x^2

Xd = x ± ( ( 2 d x ) / ( 2 √ ( .25 a^2 + x^2 ) ) )
Yd = y ± ( ( .5 d a ) / ( √ ( .25 a^2 + x^2 ) ) )

Where:
x = coordinate for point on the Parabola
y = coordinate for point on the Parabola
a = dilation coefficient of the Parabola
Xd = coordinate for point displaced normal to a tangent of the Parabola
Yd = coordinate for point displaced normal to a tangent of the Parabola
d = displaced amount
