Pseudo Gear Generator

I was feeling frustrated with trying to draw a gear (of sorts) in a graphics program, so I hacked my ellipse script to oscillate a specified distance on either side of the diameter. Yah, you betcha. It does actually work.

(decimal inches only)
Star
Spur Gear
Tooth Height
Pitch Diameter
Number of teeth
Resolution
