#2014 — Does this figure have a name

SubjectDoes this figure have a name
Message-ID<87r3zrzslw.fsf@Equus.decebal.nl>
I created this figure, based on something I have seen:
    4  4  translate

    10  10  moveto
    30  10  10  180  360  arc
    10   0  rlineto
    50  30  10  -90   90  arc
     0  10  rlineto
    30  50  10    0  180  arc
    -10  0  rlineto
    10  30  10   90  270  arc
    closepath
    stroke

Does this figure has a name? Then I can name the function after it.

You could call it "Square Clover". Amazon does.

Beside this, I do not find it anywhere else. But I will use it till I
find something better.

I think it is a shape that is used a lot in (Arabic) gardens.

Barbed quatrefoil.

but the other suggestion of "square clover" works, too

There the circle part is much bigger as the square part. In my example
they are the same.

Till I get a better suggestion I will use that.

I suspect it does -- it reminds me of a Moorish tile pattern, and I think
those *all* have names. (What name, though, I cannot answer, sorry.)

For example, the Marrakech and Granada tiles near the top of page at
<http://www.moroccantile.org/> have a component that's vaguely similar to
your figure except that for using yet another symmetric right triangle each
place on the figure's boundary where you use a 180 degree arc (semicircle).

Perhaps a judicious Google Image search would turn something up (though it
didn't bring me anything noteworthy). HTH. Cheers, -- tlvp

No need to be sorry. :-) And you gave me something to get inspiration
out again.

I am already not very good with normal Google search. But never give
up.
