A Limaçon is a type of polar curve defined by the equation \\( r = a + b \\cos(\\theta) \\) or \\( r = a + b \\sin(\\theta) \\), where \\( a \\) and \\( b \\) are constants. The shape of the Limaçon depends on the relationship between the values of \\( a \\) and \\( b \\): - If \\( a > b \\), the Limaçon has a dimple but does not loop.
