What is another word for lissajous figures?
Pronunciation: [lɪsˈad͡ʒəs fˈɪɡəz] (IPA) 
Lissajous figures, also known as Lissajous curves or Bowditch curves, are complex geometric shapes that are formed by the intersection of two harmonic oscillations. These oscillations can be in the form of sound waves, light waves, or electrical signals, and the resulting curves are often used in physics, engineering, and mathematics. Other synonyms for Lissajous figures include Lissajous patterns, Lissajous trajectories, and Lissajous orbits. These terms all refer to the same basic concept of two interdependent oscillations creating a complex, repeating shape. Despite their technical origins, Lissajous figures can also be seen in art and design, as their intricate and mesmerizing patterns make for popular visual displays.
