Spirographs. Write a program that takes three double command-line arguments R, r, and a and draws the resulting spirograph. A spirograph (technically, an epicycloid) is a curve formed by rolling a circle of radius r around a larger fixed circle of radius R. If the pen offset from the center of the rolling circle is (ra), then the equation of the resulting curve at time t is given by

Such curves were popularized by a best-selling toy that contains discs with gear teeth on the edges and small holes that you could put a pen in to trace spirographs.

x(t) = (R+r) cos (t) - (r+a) cos ((R+ r)t/r) y(t) = (R+r) sin (t) - (r+a) sin ((R + r)t/r)
