			=====Description=====

			A [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam#Displacement_diagram '''Displacement Diagram'''] is essentially a graph which plots the movement of a '''cam follower''' against time.

	During a single cam operated sequence, the follower may have periods of rest, or '''Dwell''', when it neither rises nor falls. This would be represented by a horizontal line.
