AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a parabola with focus C and directrix a. First, draw line a, then create parabola c using C and a as parameters. Next, take point F on line a and draw its perpendicular line b. Connect F and C to form segment g, find the midpoint G of g, draw its perpendicular line h, and find the intersection H of h and b. Draw segments CH and FH to form i and j, measure the angle between j and a as α, and draw the perpendicular line d from H. Finally, draw a circle with center H and radius C.
