The Limaçon2 Library entry has 6 parameters that influence its design. This app lets us explore the changes as some of those parameters are changed.

The sliders in the control console allow you to see the effect of variables a and b on the shape of the curve. The 'hue' slider lets you choose the shapes' fill color.
