To run the application, you might either:
* double click on `slider-cranck_mechanism_app.py` if you have a python interpreter set with the right version and libraries;
* in a terminal run the following command :
```
python slider-cranck_mechanism_app.py
```
**Configuration and plots are not automatically updatedwhen settings are changed.
You always have to modify the time position to observe the updates**
Perspectives are to show instantaneous center of rotation as well as their trajectories. The vector representation could also be improved.
