I've messed about with that sort of thing before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pe4UAmb2wJw.

I never got that far - I was primarily considering it as a point location definition for an image format, and I wanted a symmetrical curve.

You can actually do that, if you relax the constraint that no grid point is shared (it's not really that big a problem, you just need to base the transform on the location between pixels, and not the centres of the pixels).




interesting. Here's another video where one sees how the precision of this Moore curve drawn with epicycles varies with the frequency range:

He's using a different sample set than I did, I only used the centre pixel points, but (I believe) he has also included points in between.

Hence his version retains the blockiness of the Moore curve, whereas mine does not.
