Ram, Try increasing the number of PlotPoints, using the PlotPoints option. You probably need 25 to 30 plot points per cycle. If the solution exactly repeats, then you might as well not plot more than one cycle as the only result is a slightly messy curve because the line segments won't exactly lie on top of each other.

I was hoping to see a circle or an ellipse. I do get one, if I plot it for one cycle. But the portrait gets messy if I plot it for more than one time period. It seems as though it is straying away from the path. Isn't it suposed to round and round the same circle?. What is the problem here and how to fix it? Thanks, Ram
