Ordered paths through three measures when overall trajectory matters more than individual coordinates.
Purpose
Trace one ordered path through three quantitative dimensions.
Use when
Path shape matters more than precise point-by-point comparison.
Avoid when
Readers need exact coordinates or cannot use a rotatable view.
Equivalent data
The formula, domains, and CSV provide a non-visual equivalent; reduced motion keeps the view still.

t = i / 1000; x = (1 + 0.25 × cos(75 × t)) × cos(t); y = (1 + 0.25 × cos(75 × t)) × sin(t); z = t + 2 × sin(75 × t), with i from 0 through 24999

View rotates automatically and initial drawing may animate. Reduced-motion preference disables animation and keeps the same chart stationary.

Motion
Auto-rotation is optional exploration. The stationary treatment remains available, including for reduced-motion preferences.
