==Description==
*This function shows the Lissajous curve for each values.
*Lissajous Curve is a parametric plot of the harmonic system.
*It is also called Bowditch Curves.Lissajous used sounds of different frequencies to vibrate a mirror.
*A beam of light reflected from the mirror, was allowed to trace patterns which depended on the frequencies of the sounds – in a setup similar to projectors used in today's laser light shows.
*Lissajous figure is the intersection of two sinusoidal curves, the axes of which are at right angles to each other.
*Mathematically, this translates to a Complex harmonic function:The appearance of a figure is highly sensitive to a/b, the ratio of a and b.
*According to the ratio value, the shapes of the figures change in interesting ways.
*For a a/b ratio=1, the figure is an ellipse.
*For a=b, <math>\delta</math> = <math>\frac{\pi}{2}</math> radians, the figure is a circle.
*For <math>\delta</math> = 0, the figure is a line.
*For a/b = 2, <math>\delta</math> = <math>\frac{\pi}{4}</math>, the result is a parabola.
*The Lissajous curve gets more complicated for other ratios, which are closed only if a/b is rational.
