Creating Charts and Graphics<br />

Figure 19.24 shows another XY chart, this one with lines that connect the XY points. This chart plots a<br />

hypocycloid curve with 200 data points. It’s set up with three parameters. Change any of the parameters,<br />

and you’ll get a completely different curve. This is a very minimalist chart. I deleted all the chart elements<br />

except the data series itself.<br />

If this type of design looks familiar, it’s because a hypocycloid curve is the basis for a popular children’s<br />

drawing toy.<br />
