Another Quadratic Classical Labyrinth

Suitably to the preceding post I have been pushed to another type of quadratic labyrinth.
This week I received (as a TLS member) the third edition of Labyrinth Pathways. At the back the graphic of this labyrinth was illustrated. I suppose that Jeff Saward has designed it.
It accentuates the middle. The first path also lies on the middle axis [...]

From the Rectangular to the Square Classical Labyrinth

The classical labyrinth always was depicted in rectangular shape, just in the oldest representations on coins and engravings.
Again one recognises very well the basic pattern in a rectangular form. The path sequence also is typical.
The centre should be bigger than only a path width. Because the square basic pattern was maintained, the centre becomes an irregular, rectangular polygon.
How does one [...]

The Round Classical Labyrinth

We already had the classical labyrinth in round form in a preceding post.
If one makes the lines less round around the four points of inflection, this labyrinth shows a certain form of meander. In fact this labyrinth can be developed from two double meanders.
How to make a labyrinth with a double meander is shown in this Flash animation on mymaze.

The Ringlike Classical Labyrinth

The classical labyrinth develops from the square as a seed pattern. The curves are shaped with arcs of a circle, but do not form a complete circle. If  one wants to create a completely round labyrinth, one must give up the pattern of the square.
The drawing should make it clear.
A bigger middle was chosen with the fourfold path [...]
