Limacons are something that can be generated relatively easilyusing polar coordinates. Overall, they are basically circles with indentations. They are of the form r = b + a cos θ.
The versions of a limacon is as follows :
The INNER LOOP LIMACON
r = a + b sin θ where the absolute value of (a/b) is less than 1
THE CARDIOID
r = a + a sin θ
DIMPLED LIMACON
r = a + b sin θ where the absolute value of (a/b) is between 1 and 2.
CONVEX LIMACON
r = a + b sin θ where the absolute value of (a/b) is greater than orequal to 2.
