Click on a point and drag left or right, up or down, to get a depth. Negative X or Y position reduces the Z-depth and positive X or Y increases the Z-depth. As the mouse moves around the canvas/window the page draws a line between the initial point and the current mouse point, with a depth value. When you release the mouse pointer we have an XYZ coordinate for a point in 3D space which we display with perspective tricks. I want to be able to pick a point in a volume and also rotate the points around the center of the volume.

Picking some points in a volume
Click to place a point in the canvas/window, then click move the mouse around to get a depth and click again.

Drawing a Gumdrop-shaped SSTO
Click and drag to draw a circle representing a spherical LOX tank in red and two more smaller aqua circles representing a toroidal liquid hydrogen tank. I'm drawing a gumdrop rocket, ideally a hydrolox SSTO... The orange box represents internal volume for rocket engines, pumps, etc.

Star System Generation, like a few dozen times before...
Running a little star system generation, making boring little solar system clones... 8-P
Star mass is 0.24 sols, star luminousity is 0.006 sols and goldilocks orbit is at 0.07 AU. Inner limit is at 0.04 AU and outer is at 0.09Planet #0 is at 0.08 AU, period of 34.43 days, mass 0.051 earths, density is 0.981 earths
Planet #1 is at 0.134 AU, period of 74.65 days, mass 0.103 earths, density is 0.996 earths
Planet #2 is at 0.255 AU, period of 195.96 days, mass 0.393 earths, density is 1.129 earths
Planet #3 is at 0.488 AU, period of 518.81 days, mass 0.447 earths, density is 1.07 earths
Planet #4 is at 0.89 AU, period of 1277.8 days, mass 0.166 earths, density is 1.018 earths

Gladiola for Mom.
Click on three different points in the window to define a triangle and start generating a flower!
Yet Another World Map!
World Map- This is a pretty standard equilateral projection of 520 by 260 pixels. I will divide the surface into pixels which are a given distance from a point and use that distance as the height. I had JS pile up thirty-three sets of heights to make this map.
49761.77 kilometers in circumference, and 15839.66 kilometers in diameter.Total surface area is 788.2 m. km^2.
Density- 1.05. Gravity- 1.3. Mass- 1.99
