You might be thinking of DreamCatchers? Indian string craft with a
similar design (used to shield you from bad dreams, somehow...) But the
desing is much simpler and is a bit less mathematical...

I'm familiar with DreamCatchers, but that wasn't what I had in mind. .
I'm basically wanting to know what I should name the macro I wrote
that creates these images. If a proper name exists for these
formations, then I want to use that as the macro name.
Maybe they don't have a proper name, but I would find that odd, since
I have seen images such as these on different occasions.
Thanks,
Glen

I vaguely remember that we called them "Rose of Sharon" when I was at
school, but I couldn't find any support for this nomenclature with a
quick Google.

I've seen them in books on curve stitching but I don't know their mathmatical names

They are called as rosettes in some CG literature:
"The rosette is an n-gon with each vertex joined to every other vertex"

Looking on google also about Math roses, I've found an interesting web
page about roses, it's different from the one in this thread, but it
could be a very nice iso surface to build:

I think it's called 'aestheometry'.
