Controls
Combine two perpendicular sine waves. The frequency ratio a:b sets the number of lobes; the phase δ morphs the shape — the patterns you see on an oscilloscope.

Reading this result: Reduced to 3:2, the curve closes into a stable 3-by-2 lobe figure; because the ratio is a whole-number fraction it never drifts, and the phase δ only morphs and rotates that fixed pattern.
