Draw parametric equations in AE, how to make them do deformation animation ?

Hello, I want to use the expression of ae to simulate the rose curve in mathematics. I applied a mathematical formula to the position attribute, and I can draw rose curves with different parameters.
However, I want to change the three-leaf curve into a four-leaf curve or another mathematical formula curve. I don’t know how to use expressions to make such an animation.

If you use the Write-on effect and apply this expression to the Brush Position property it will draw a rose curve with a set number of petals:
r = 5 ; // rate in seconds
n = 3 ; // number of petals
a = 300 ; // size
t = time * Math.PI + r ;
n2 = n / Math.abs( ( ( n % 2 ) - 2 ) ) ;
x = a * Math.sin( n2 * t ) * Math.cos( t ) ;
y = a * Math.sin( n2 * t ) * Math.sin( t ) ;
value + [ x, y ]Adjust the r, n and a as needed.
In my testing it works pretty well, except for 6 petals, which for some reason only produces 3 petals…

I botched the rate… this should fix it:
r = 1 ; // rate to draw each petal in seconds
n = 4 ; // number of petals
a = 300 ; // size
n2 = n / Math.abs( ( ( n % 2 ) - 2 ) ) ;
t = time * 2 * Math.PI / n2 / 2 / r ;
x = a * Math.sin( n2 * t ) * Math.cos( t ) ;
y = a * Math.sin( n2 * t ) * Math.sin( t ) ;
value + [ x, y ]

I know write on, it can only make an object do a curve movement, I want to make a curve into another curve. thanks

I want to animate the transition of different curves by changing r n a slider
-
the four petals

I want to achieve this kind of change effect between different rose curves

For most values of the rose curve you would need infinite amount of points before the curve lines up again. Do you want to limit it to a maximum number of rotations ?

Here’s my project that does it with a shape instead of write-on:

Thanks, I found that the for loop is calculated every frame, which is very interesting!
