| Everyone who grew up playing with this toy remembers it fondly. Very cool shapes and patterns. Recently, I was wondering if there was a mathematical formula describing the shapes created by Spriographs, and of course there is! | ||||

| They're actually quite simple. The shapes are called [hypotrochoids](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotrochoid) and [epitrochoids](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epitrochoid). To calculate each point, you simple use the following parametrized equations, plugging in 0 to 2π for θ:   | ||||
