AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a coordinate system with sine and cosine function graphs, showing their periodicity and phase difference. Mark key points on the unit circle, and connect the center to points on the circle with segments to represent function values for angles. Plot the two curves, and label amplitude and period. Add vectors from the origin to points on the graphs. Construct a line intersecting the graphs, mark the intersection points, and use midpoint and reflection to create symmetric points, then connect them with segments. Finally, label angles as fractions of π and display relevant distances to aid understanding of trigonometric geometry.
