A first try at a spirogram a la Shay.

Total failure, but nonetheless something mildly interesting.

Anybody got code that does nice spirographs? Shay?

I tried implementing the algo at Mathworld, but obviously lacking in the
math department.

Lots of possibilities posed by this - most obvious is a "plekmatjie" in my
language - something that your granny would put the kettle on. Or over the
kettle.

Source in p.b.s.f.

Things to try - bring in some Z, colors, transparency, blobs, and other
objects - a world of possibilities.

Comments welcome or use in your own scenes. From a greater distance makes a
lice little round knitted tea-cosy or something.
