# Making animation of a straight line

How can I make an animation of line y=-3 that rotates by angle $\phi$ and the perpendicular distance from origin to this line. I also need to trace the shape that points of the intersection of the line with the perpendicular line makes.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I also need a coordinate axes.

\begin{pspicture}(-5.2,-5.2)(5.5,2.5)
\pnode(0,0){O}

\rput{\iA}(0,-3){\pnodes(-4,0){A}(4,0){B}\psline(A)(B)}
\pnode(!\iA\space tan dup 0 eq { -3 0 }{1 exch div neg 5 mul 5} ifelse exch){C}
\pstInterLL{A}{B}{O}{C}{D}
\pnode(0,0){Aa}
\multido{\iC=0+6}{\iB}{%
\rput{\iC}(0,-3){\pnodes(-4,0){Ab}(4,0){Bb}}%

\psline(Aa)(Db)\pnode(Db){Aa}}%
\psline[linestyle=dashed](0,0)(D)
\end{pspicture}%
}

I also need a coordinate axis. –  Student Mar 25 at 13:40

This is line y=0, can you please change it to y=-3. and there is no perpendicular line from origin to the line in your solution. –  Student Mar 25 at 13:58
@Student: Which is the rotation point of the line? –  Herbert Mar 25 at 14:12
line y=-3, and the rotation point is (0,-3). Thanks. –  Student Mar 25 at 14:14
