From the README

Every plate runs at once, each body retracing its own closed curve. The pale line is the whole orbit; the dark line is the pass being made right now.

Every orbit uses three equal masses with G = m = 1, zero total momentum and the barycentre pinned at the origin. The figure eight and the ten Šuvakov–Dmitrašinović orbits have zero angular momentum as well; Euler (L = 2.236), Lagrange (L = 1.732) and the rosette (L = 1.848) do not, so those three turn as they go — but only the rosette changes shape while turning.
