Here is some code to draw a Lissajous table.
Change the func_x and/or func_y (sin or cos) and/or add some value to the delta to get other curves.
Well, actually the curves are just polygons.

cols = 12
rows = 8
cell_s = 80
r_factor = .8 # fraction of the cell size to have a gap between them
func_x = cos # should be `sin` or `cos`
func_y = sin # should be `sin` or `cos`
delta = 0 #pi/3 # some angle in radians
density = 360 # amount of points per cell – higher values make nicer curve approximations

radius = (cell_s * r_factor) / 2
step = (2 * pi) / density

ph = cell_s * (rows + 1)
x_coords = { (col, d) : func_x(step * (col + 1) * d + pi/2 + delta) * radius for col in range(cols) for d in range(density) }
y_coords = { (row, d) : func_y(step * (row + 1) * d + pi/2) * radius for row in range(rows) for d in range(density) }
