It adheres to the standard conventions for this type of gear. The optional parameters, whose default values are indicated, are as follows: \begin{enumerate} \item \Lkeyword{Z1}\texttt{=20}: number of teeth on gear \#1; \item \Lkeyword{Z2}\texttt{=10}: number of teeth on gear \#2; \item \Lkeyword{m}\texttt{=0.5}: gear module; \item \Lkeyword{ap}\texttt{=20}: pressure angle in degrees. \item \Lkeyword{Rarct}\texttt{=0.1}: allows you to adjust the radius of the connection between the teeth and the root circle, as a fraction of the root circle radius. \item \Lkeyword{drawWheels}\texttt{=1 1}: Draws both wheels if the argument is \texttt{[1 1]} (default), draws only wheel 1 if \texttt{[drawWheels=1 0]}, and draws only wheel 2 if \texttt{[drawWheels=0 1]}. This parameter replaces the boolean \texttt{[notdrawWheel1]} from previous versions, which only allowed drawing wheel 1. \end{enumerate} The macro has 4 booleans: \begin{enumerate} \item \Lkeyset{int=false}: Selects the gear type, external (default) or internal. In the latter case, simply write \Lkeyword{int} in the options. \item \Lkeyset{circles=false}: Draws the basic and primitive circles. \item \Lkeyset{key=true}: To draw or not draw the key for each wheel. \item \Lkeyset{clockwork=false}: Draws the gears in clockwork style. \end{enumerate} For gear rotation, useful for an animation (see the corresponding files): \begin{itemize} \item \texttt{[wheelrotation=0]}:value in degrees (positive or negative) of wheel 1; the rotation angle of wheel 2 is deduced by the macro. \end{itemize} For the drawing, the wheel colors can be chosen using the following parameters: \begin{enumerate} \item \texttt{[color1=\{[rgb]\{0.625 0.75 1\}\}]}; \item \texttt{[color2=\{[rgb]\{0.75 1 0.75\}\}]}. \end{enumerate} By default, the wheels are not filled. To color the inside of external gears or the ring gear, for internal gears, you must activate the PSTricks option: \Lkeyset{fillstyle=solid}. The color and thickness of the wheel outline are chosen using the usual PSTricks options: \Lkeyword{linecolor} and \Lkeyword{linewidth}. The PSTricks option \Lkeyset{linestyle=none} remains valid. The drawing, in dotted lines, of the The basic and primitive circles can be refined using two options: \begin{enumerate} \item The PSTricks parameter \Lkeyword{dash}\texttt{=\ldots}, \item The color with the parameter: \Lkeyset{colorcircles=red}. \end{enumerate} The drawing is centered at the point \texttt{(x,y)} on the pinion axis (the first wheel). If this detail is omitted, the wheel is centered at the origin. To position the second wheel at an angle, there are two ways: \begin{enumerate} \item Use the PSTricks command \Lcs{rput}\Largb{angle}\Largb{\Lcs{pstgears}\Largs{otions}}; \item Or the optional parameter \Lkeyset{polarangle=value}, specifying the value in degrees of the chosen angle. \end{enumerate} This makes it very easy to draw a 3-wheel gear train, as in the example below, by specifying not to redraw wheel 1 with the option \texttt{[drawWheels=1 0]}: \begin{exampleM}{Color and polar angle} \begin{pspicture}[showgrid](-5,-4)(8,7) \pstgears[Z1=30,Z2=15,m=0.25,linewidth=0.025,fillstyle=solid,polarangle=120]% \pstgears[Z1=30,Z2=18,m=0.25,linewidth=0.025,fillstyle=solid,polarangle=0,color2=red!50,drawWheels=0 1]% \end{pspicture} \end{exampleM} \begin{exampleM}{Rotated} \begin{pspicture}[showgrid](-4,-4)(6,6) \rput{45}{\pstgears[Z1=24,Z2=12,m=0.25,linewidth=0.025,fillstyle=solid, circles,dash=10pt 2pt 1pt 2pt]}% \end{pspicture} \end{exampleM} \begin{exampleM}{Wheel inside wheel} \begin{pspicture}[showgrid](-5,-5)(5,5) \rput{-45}{\pstgears[Z1=36,Z2=18,m=0.2,wheelrotation=25,linewidth=0.0001,int, fillstyle=solid,circles]} \end{pspicture} \end{exampleM} See also \url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tusi_couple}. \begin{exampleM}{polarangle} \begin{pspicture}[showgrid](-5,-5)(5,5) \pstgears[Z1=36,Z2=18,m=0.2,wheelrotation=25,linewidth=0.025,int,fillstyle=solid, circles,polarangle=120] \end{pspicture} \end{exampleM} \begin{exampleM}{Complex example} \begin{pspicture}(-13,-3)(4,3) \psset{m=0.08,linewidth=0.025,fillstyle=solid,ap=15,clockwork} \pstgears[Z1=60,Z2=8,wheelrotation=0,color2={[rgb]{0.625 0.75 1}}] \rput{180}{\pstgears[Z1=8,Z2=64,wheelrotation=0,color1={[rgb]{0.75 1 0.75}}]} % entraxe1 = (8+64)*0.08/2 = 2.88 \rput{180}{\pstgears[Z1=20,Z2=60,wheelrotation=0,color2=gray,color1=gray](2.88,0)} % entraxe2 = (20+60)*0.08/2 = 3.2 + entraxe1 \rput{180}{\pstgears[Z1=16,Z2=64,wheelrotation=0,color1=blue!50,color2=blue!50](6.08,0)} \psgrid[subgriddiv=0,gridcolor=lightgray,griddots=10,gridlabels=8pt]% \end{pspicture} \end{exampleM} \bigskip Study of a clock gear train, inspired by the remarkable work of Tavmjong Bah on the website: \url{http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/DRAWINGS/clock.svg} (see also \parencite{tavm}).
