Hypocycloid

The red path is a hypocycloid traced as the smaller black circle rolls around inside the larger black circle (parameters are R=4.0, r=1.0, and so k=4, giving an astroid).

In geometry, a hypocycloid is a special plane curve generated by the trace of a fixed point on a small circle that rolls within a larger circle. As the radius of the larger circle is increased, the hypocycloid becomes more like the cycloid created by rolling a circle on a line.
