So apparently, this way of distorting a circle into an ellipse (?) by
adding a value to the angle for one of the two coordinates isn't
actually widely known in math and doesn't have a name. Fair enough.

Sure, I like me some global variables too. If you have to temporarily
replace them for a single function call though, it's pretty much the
textbook example of where *not* to use them.
