These were plotted using a Tektronix graphics computer[1] sometime between 1975 and 1978 or so.
All of the designs are based on wide-interval samplings[2] of sine waves plotted in various different ways. This was a technique I discovered more or less by accident when I mistakenly had the trig functions set to "RAD" (radians) with a plotting program that was designed to work in degrees.
