Other versions	This math image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}. It is recommended to name the SVG file “Circle2heart.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

"It's not complex-analytic, but

${\displaystyle (x,y)\mapsto (x,{\sqrt {|x|}}-y)}$

makes nice-looking heart shapes out of circles centered on the origin (different for different radii)" ^[1]

so in Maxima notation :

• point of circle is w :

w:x+y*%i;

• point of heart curve is

c:x+f(w)*%i;

where

f(w):=sqrt(abs(realpart(w)))-imagpart(w);

• Image showing non-cardioid heart curve as a shadow of ring
• similar image, but different position of ring
• Conformal mapping from circle to cardioid
• Image GJL-fft-herz.png
• File:Simple 4-quadrant heart curve.svg
• Image made by Monguin61 using MATLAB
