Curve Stitching: making a parabola from straight lines.

Using only straight lines and following simple rules, you can construct what looks remarkably like a parabola. And it will look more and more like it the more lines you add. This applet allows you to investigate the effect of changing various aspects of the construction. Very pretty shapes are possible.
