Poincaré Hyperbolic Disk


	The Poincaré disk is a model for hyperbolic geometry in which a line is represented as an arc of a circle whose ends are perpendicular to the disk's boundary. This Demonstration allows you to specify two endpoints and the level of recursion for viewing arcs on the hyperbolic disk.
