change a, b, d for dramatic changes in scale, try

//Calculations
float x = k * cos(tmin) + d * cos(m * tmin);
float y = k * sin(tmax) - d * sin(m * tmax);
noStroke();
fill(123, 0, 255, 120);
ellipse(x, y, 12, 12);
}
This site here provided some code in Archim v2.1 which I adapted for Processing and experimented with the parameters of the equation:
