Did you do that in the same way? I mean, divide a digit (or symbol) into separate segments and compose a Lissajous curve for each segment? I thought it is a very smart and unique way to display numbers on an X- Y system and actually assumed that David himself came up with this "invention". If you take the number '2' for example, the way I see it, it is composed out of 3 segments (top arc, middle curve and bottom line). You will need to switch (at precise moments) between cos, 0.5*sin then cos, -sin then cos, 0*sin or something similar.
