Hi,
I’m on a quest to get the corresponding disignscript of the shapes in this list and get as many as possible 
If this works it could be a treasure trove for all that come across this thread.
I got to this idea because i wanted to draw a parabolic line on paper (2D) , then bend the paper in a parabolic shape, making it 3D, and write it down using designscript.
Any help on this one?
So this idea of the treasure trove was born, and give this post a “like” if you support it.
Your contribution will be appreciated.

just a line
remember all Dynamo lines can be your walls with one extra node

Great idea @Marcel_Rijsmus 
Not on the list, but had it in the archive.

I bet @Zach_Kron has some interesting examples.

Variations on the above 3 Leaf Clover = Rose Curves with Petal Parameters.

Lemniscate of Bernoulli or Infinity Sign
t = 1..1000;
x = (a * Math.Sqrt(2) * Math.Cos(t))/(Math.Pow(Math.Sin(t), 2) + 1);
y = (a * Math.Sqrt(2) * Math.Cos(t) * Math.Sin(t))/(Math.Pow(Math.Sin(t), 2) + 1);
pts = Autodesk.Point.ByCoordinates(x,y);
LemniscateOfBernoulli = NurbsCurve.ByControlPoints(pts);

Since petal count was a variable, I figured why not play with it? Added some height to really kick it up a notch and give it more form, and then looking at ALL possible inputs (ok 10 in this case, but you get the idea…)

I don’t know if it is appropriate but I had a lot of fun doing this:

Could everyone amend his/her post to include the code to avoid re-typing ?
