Abstract
In spirographs generated by Farris equations there is always a manifold symmetry. In the present paper a study has been made of the effect of diverse trigonometric and other transformations on the output of a spirograph. The effect is to reduce symmetry and produce various flying figures and other recognizable shapes.
