Lemniscate Polygon

[Roger Guay]

Dear List,

Bernd has produced an absolutely beautiful animation using a Lemniskate polygon that was previously provided by Hermann Hoch. Can anyone provide some help on how to create this polygon mathematically? Since the equation for a Lemniskate involves the SqRt of negative numbers, which is not allowed in LC, I am stumped. 

You can find Bernd’s animation here: https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=36412 <https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=36412>

Thanks,
Roger
