How to adjust the curve of a sine wave formula?

400 Views Asked by At

Apologies to all I'm pretty ignorant to maths beyond high school level. Essentially what I want to do is create a sine wave that's a bit more curvy than just a standard sine wave (see image below)

sine wave vs. more curvy wave image

I'm using animation software and I can generate a sine wave using a formula. But for design reasons I need it to be curvier. I've hunted around and fiddled with the formula without luck.

This is the default formula that is creating the bottom sine wave in the image:

$$ Sin(u*2.0*\pi)*0.2 $$

Is there any way to change the formula to make it produce a curvier line?

Below is the language the formula parameter accepts. I'm also struggling with how to translate the format of the formulas.
