Movie 4
Exception of the rule regarding rotation direction. If the eccentricity of an elliptical harmonic is very high, the number of generated lobes does not follow the rule-of-thumb proposed by Diaz et al. (1990). Here, EFA mode 3 generates a shape with 4 features, although its rotation direction is the same as the rotation direction of the first harmonic.
