Did you know... that a squircle (pictured) is a variety of superellipse that has properties between those of a square and a circle?

major and minor radii

Are these synonyms for semimajor and semiminor axis?

Independently, what can and the major radius is the geometric average between square and circle possibly mean? --Tamfang (talk) 06:40, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I won't look closely at the article until later, but the natural meaning would be the distance between the center and the closest and most distant points on the curve. "Semimajor and semiminor axis" are terms which have a unique defvinition for an ellipse, but would not for a squircle. AnonMoos (talk) 07:29, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Periodic squircle

It would be nice to have at least one illustration. AnonMoos (talk) 19:20, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I plugged it into https://www.desmos.com/calculator - it looks like the other illustrations, although the squircle is repeated periodically in diagnoal directions. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:47, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can this be generalized to any polygon?

I'm wondering why this shape is restricted to a square. For the periodic form, could it be generalized to some other period to make, say, a triangle (triancle?). I'm playing with it in Desmos and haven't been successful. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:49, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Statement about apple icons not supported by reference

The text claims that apple icons are quintic superellipses and cites [12] which states actually that apple icons are NOT quintic superellipses...with an overlay showing how they disagree! 192.80.55.86 (talk) 14:46, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
