"Unrolling these circles fills a triangle with base 2 π r and height r (where r is the radius of the filled disk). Such a triangle has area π r². This does not serve as a complete proof for why this is the area of a circle, but can give you some intuition for why it should be."

thumb|Animation of the act of unrolling the circumference of a unit circle, a circle with radius of 1. Since C = 2πr, the circumference of a unit circle is 2π.

history
1988 : Heinz-Otto Peitgen, Dietmar Saupe, Yuval Fisher, & 5 more in book "The Science of Fractal Images" : "A region along the cardioid is continuously blown up and stretched out, so that the respective segment of the cardioid becomes a line segment. ... Our blow-up factor is chosen accordingly to the result that all disks in Figure 4.22 have the same size."

thumb|2 steps of unrolling the main cardioid of Mandelbrot set : Moebius map and conformal map
This image is made using algorithm described by Claude Heiland-Allenstretching cusps by Claude Heiland-Allen
The main idea here is choose 3 points on the base image (P0, P1, Pinf) which define a circle, and map them respectively to 0., 1., inf. ( Geoffroy Billotey)
Figure 4.22 on pages 204-205 of the book titled : "The Science Of Fractal Images" by Heinz-Otto Peitgenwikipedia : Heinz-Otto Peitgen and D. Saupe has description:
A region along the cardioid is continuously blown up and stretched out, so that the respective segment of the cardioid becomes a line segment. ... Our blow-up factor is chosen accordingly to the result that all disks in Figure 4.22 have the same size.
transformation from line, thru half of the circle, to half of the cardioid
There are 3 complex planes :
k-plane ( where are lines) in Claude Heiland-Allen notation
w-plane ( where are circles)
c-plane ( for cardioid )
2 steps from k-plane to c-plane:
from k plane go to w plane using Moebius transformation fi
from w plane go to the c plane using conformal map gi
so :
Maxima CAS src code
z(%i1) k:x+y*%i;
(%o1) %i*y+x
(%i2) fi(k):=(-%i-k)/(%i-k);
(%o2) fi(k):=−%i−k/%i−k
(%i3) gi(w):=w/2-w*w/4;
(%o3) gi(w):=w/2−(w*w)/4
(%i4) gfi(k):=gi(fi(k));
(%o4) gfi(k):=gi(fi(k))
(%i5) c:gfi(k)$
How to compute c from k without using CAS :
(%i6) ratsimp(realpart(c));
(%o6) (y^4−4*y^3+(2*x^2+2)*y^2+(4−4*x^2)*y+x^4+6*x^2−3)/(4*y^4−16*y^3+(8*x^2+24)*y^2+(−16*x^2−16)*y+4*x^4+8*x^2+4)
(%i7) ratsimp(imagpart(c));
(%o7) −(2*x*y−2*x)/(y^4−4*y^3+(2*x^2+6)*y^2+(−4*x^2−4)*y+x^4+2*x^2+1)
Check the gfi function with some known values :
(%i8) gfi(0);
(%o8) −3/4
(%i12) gfi(%i/3);
(%o12) −2
