2D Projection of vector u onto vector v

This applet aims to demonstrate visually the projection of a vector [b]u[/b] onto a vector [b]v[/b]. The bolded line is the result of that projection.[br][br]The notion can be likened to having a light source perpendicular to v, in which proj_u(v) can be seen as the shadow of [b]u[/b] casted onto [b]v[/b].
