Strang's Strange Figures

Strang's strange figures are the figures produced by plotting a periodic function  as a function of an integer argument  for , 2, .... Unexpected patterns and periodicities result from near-commensurabilities of certain rational numbers with the period (Richert 1992). Strang figures are shown above for a number of common functions.
