Discovering Parabola

Move the focus, the orange point F, and the directrix, blue line. Then move the point D back and forth along the directrix to trace the parabola.
How does the distance from the points P and D affect the parabola? How does changing the slope of the directrix affect the parabola? If the directrix is above the focus, how does the parabola change?
