Superformula shape discovered by b.stolk

b.stolk explored the 12 dimensional parameter space of Superformula shapes. This shape was discovered with the Superformula iPad/iPhone app from http://www.stolk.org/superformula/

The parameter specification for this shape is ϕ:(m,n¹²³,a,b)=(3.20,2.32,1.12,3.15,0.19,2.19) ψ:(m,n¹²³,a,b)=(1.76,1.86,0.55,2.86,0.69,0.10) and a toroidal mapping was used.

This shaped was named 'Smile' by its discoverer.
