I am modeling a molecule.  I have six line segments.  I know the coordinates of their ends as functions of time.  Naively, I would think it would go like this:

define some functions (composites of trig functions, rational functions, etc)

define points 1,2, ..., 6.   (in terms of the functions)

define line1, line2, ...., line6

define structure = union of 6 lines

animate(structure) as t goes from t_0, ..., t_1

How exactly do i do this?
