🎬Show symmetric and anti-symmetric components of 2D tensor represented by a stretching ellipsoid and
Any tensor's transformation can be visually broken down into two distinct actions: a stretching or squishing component and a rotational component. The demo uses an ellipsoid glyph to represent the symmetric part (stretching) and a circular arrow to represent the anti-symmetric part (rotation). By seeing how the full tensor's glyph is simply the combination of these two simpler glyphs, you can intuitively understand the fundamental principle of tensor decomposition.
