+// Function&Module: squircle()
+// Synopsis: Creates a shape between a circle and a square, centered on the origin.
+// SynTags: Geom, Path
+// Topics: Shapes (2D), Paths (2D), Path Generators, Attachable
+// See Also: circle(), square(), supershape()
+// Usage: As Module
+//   squircle(size, [squareness], [style]) [ATTACHMENTS];
+// Usage: As Function
+//   path = squircle(size, [squareness], [style]);
+// Description:
+//   A [squircle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squircle) is a shape intermediate between a square/rectangle and a circle/ellipse.Squircles are sometimes used to make dinner plates (more area for the same radius as a circle), keyboard buttons, and smartphone icons. Old CRT television screens also resembled elongated squircles.
+//   .
+//   There are multiple approaches to constructing a squircle. One approach is a special case of superellipse (shown in {{supershape}} example 3), and uses exponents between 2 and infinity to adjust the shape. Another, the Fernández-Guasti squircle or FG squircle, arises from work in optics and uses a "squareness" parameter between 0 and 1 to adjust the shape. We use the same squareness parameter for both types, adjusting the internal FG parameter or superellipse exponent as needed to achieve the same squircle corner extents.
+//   .
+//   The FG style and superellipse style squircles are visually almost indistinguishable, with the superellipse having slightly rounder "corners" than FG for a given value of squareness. Either style requires just the two parameters `squareness` and `size`. The vertex distribution is adjusted to be more dense at the corners for smoothness at low values of `$fn`.
+//   .
+//   When called as a module, creates a 2D squircle with the desired squareness.    
+//   When called as a function, returns a 2D path for a squircle.
+// Arguments:
+//   size = Same as the `size` parameter in `square()`, can be a single number or a vector `[xsize,ysize]`.
+//   squareness = Value between 0 and 1. Controls the shape, setting the location of a squircle "corner" at the specified interpolated position between a circle and a square. When `squareness=0` the shape is a circle, and when `squareness=1` the shape is a square. For the "superellipse" style, the special case where the superellipse exponent is 4 (also known as *Lamé's quartic curve*) results in a squircle at the geometric mean between radial points on the circle and square, corresponding to squareness=0.456786. Default: 0.5
+//   style = method for generating a squircle, "fg" for Fernández-Guasti and "superellipse" for superellipse. Default: "fg"
+//   atype = anchor type, "box" for bounding box corners and sides, "perim" for the squircle corners
+//   $fn = Number of points. The special variables `$fs` and `$fa` are ignored. If set, `$fn` must be 12 or greater, and is rounded to the nearest multiple of 4. Points are generated so they are more dense around sharper curves. Default if not set: 48
+// Examples(2D):
+//   squircle(size=50, squareness=0.4);
+//   squircle([80,60], 0.7, $fn=64);
+// Examples(2D): Ten increments of squareness parameter for a superellipse squircle
+//   for(sq=[0:0.1:1])
+//       stroke(squircle(100, sq, style="superellipse", $fn=128), closed=true, width=0.5);
+// Examples(2D): Standard vector anchors are based on the bounding box
+//   squircle(50, 0.6) show_anchors();
+// Examples(2D): Perimeter anchors, anchoring at bottom left and spinning 20°
+//   squircle([60,40], 0.5, anchor=(BOTTOM+LEFT), atype="perim", spin=20)
