npeaks

This function may be useful for calculating the number \(n\) of peaks
 a cycloid (<code>zykloid</code>) based on the radii \(A\) (fixed
 circle) and \(a\) (moving circle) will have. The equation for \(n\) is 
 
 \(n = kgV(A, a)/a\) 
 
 where \(kgV(A, a)\) is the least common multiple of \(A\) and \(a\) as
 implemented in the function <code>kgV</code>

 math

Tools for calculating coordinate representations of
hypocycloids, epicyloids, hypotrochoids, and epitrochoids
(altogether called 'cycloids' here) with different scaling
and positioning options. The cycloids can be visualised with
any appropriate graphics function in R.
