Re: [sympy] Trying to plot Lissajous curve to learn sympy but "TypeError: can't convert expression to float"

In general, don't define symbols for variables and then later on reassign the same variable to something else, like x = symbols('x') # Some stuff x = 1 This is a relatively common mistake that people make. There is no need to create a symbol for a variable if you never intend to use that variable

Thank you. The plot works. I should have seen the tmin and tmax. That correction seemed to do the trick. The frictionx and frictiony do not seem to be needed in the dictionaries varx, vary. Thank you again. - Lawrence On Monday, March 7, 2016 at 4:08:28 PM UTC-7, Amit Saha wrote: > > On Tue, Ma

I am trying to learn sympy by plotting Lissajous curves. I am familiar with python and know some math. I downloaded and installed the Anaconda package for Windows. I have been able to get a simple curve plotted but the attached text file shows the few statements and a plot command which gives a
