Experiments with Super-Helices

Was messing around with the Processing script I've been making (slowly) to plot GPS points but instead of GPS Latitude-Longitude data I plotted the functions for a helix and super helix:

x =100*(COS(x)+0.5*COS(15*x)+2)
y =100*(SIN(x)+0.5*SIN(15*x)+2)


 The bottom two images had some coding problems, but they look pretty neat also:



Thanks to my brother, Alex, for his help with the equations.
