| Dec 29, 2023 at 17:29 | comment | added | Tmpecho | Well i don't want the planets to be lined up like it is now. I get that it could be interpreted as 2d, but it represents 2d positions. I'll look into orthographic projection. | |
| Dec 29, 2023 at 17:07 | comment | added | Greg Miller | It's not clear what the end goal is. Since all the planets are lined up in your original data, it is not 2d, it's 1d. Some search terms that might help is "orthographic projection" to get from 3d to 2d. And "convert cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates" to get from x,y to radius and angle. | |
