Conchoids {limaçon of Pascal} can have circle for fixed curve: r = 2 * a * cos(A) + b, where r is distance from pole, pole is where rolling point meets fixed circle, A is angle to radius, and a and b are constants. If b < 2*a, limaçon of Pascal has two loops. If b > 2*a, limaçon of Pascal has one loop. If b = 2*a, limaçon of Pascal is a cardioid curve.
