## Parameters
- `p` : The p parameter of The (p,q)-torus knot.
- `q` : The q parameter of The (p,q)-torus knot.
- `phi_step` : The amount when increasing phi.
## Examples
use <shape_pentagram.scad>;
use <path_extrude.scad>;
use <torus_knot.scad>;
p = 2;
q = 3;
phi_step = 0.05;
star_radius = 0.5;
pts = torus_knot(p, q, phi_step);
shape_pentagram_pts = shape_pentagram(star_radius);
path_extrude(
shape_pentagram_pts,
concat(pts, [pts[0]]),
closed = true,
method = "EULER_ANGLE"
);
