- LocusEquation[ <Locus> ]
- Calculates the equation of a Locus and plots this as an Implicit Curve
- LocusEquation[ <Locus Point>, <Moving Point> ]
- Calculates the equation of a Locus and plots this as an Implicit Curve
Note:
- Works only for a Geometric Locus, ie using Lines, Circles, Conics
- If the locus is too complicated then it will return 'undefined'
- The calculation is done using Gröbner bases, so sometimes extra branches of the curve will appear that weren't in the original locus
