Unique Real time analogue clock

 

Clockwise

It shows the real time of your computer; just check it!

The movement of the hour hand, minute hand and seconds' hand are controlled by parametric equations. The second hand moves 60 every second.







 

The Source Code for Live Analogue Clock

Here is the source code for the animation. It is JavaScript.

 

<script type="text/javascript" >
var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var k;
function timing() {
//get date
var tme= new Date();
//get seconds
var s=tme.getSeconds();
//get minutes
var m=tme.getMinutes();
//get hours
var h=tme.getHours();
context.clearRect(0,0,500,500);
//seconds
context.beginPath();
context.arc(250,250,100,-Math.PI/2,[s*Math.PI/30]-Math.PI/2)
context.strokeStyle='red';
context.lineWidth=6;
context.stroke();
context.beginPath();
context.arc(250,250,70,-Math.PI/2,[m*Math.PI/30]-Math.PI/2)
context.strokeStyle='blue';
context.lineWidth=10;
context.stroke();
if(h<=12)
{
context.beginPath();
context.arc(250,250,40,-Math.PI/2,[(h)*Math.PI/6]-Math.PI/2)
context.strokeStyle='brown';
context.lineWidth=14;
context.stroke();
}
else
{
context.beginPath();
context.arc(250,250,40,-Math.PI/2,[(h-12)*Math.PI/6]-Math.PI/2)
context.strokeStyle='brown';
context.lineWidth=14;
context.stroke();
}
}
window.setInterval('timing()', 1000);
</script>

 

 

 

Recommended Reading


 

Maths is challenging; so is finding the right book. K A Stroud, in this book, cleverly managed to make all the major topics crystal clear with plenty of examples; popularity of the book speak for itself - 7th edition in print.

Recommended - GCSE & iGCSE


 

This is the best book available for the new GCSE(9-1) specification and iGCSE: there are plenty of worked examples; a really good collection of problems for practising; every single topic is adequately covered; the topics are organized in a logical order.

Recommended for A Level


 

This is the best book that can be recommended for the new A Level - Edexcel board: it covers every single topic in detail;lots of worked examples; ample problems for practising; beautifully and clearly presented.
