 /**
  SineWaver.cpp
 
  This program will draw sine waves that look like this:
 
            ,-'`'-,             ,-'`'-,
           /       \           /
          /         \         /
         /           \       /
  `'-.-'`             `'-.-'`
 
          ,-'`'-,
         /       \
  `'-.-'`         `'-.-'`
 
  The program requires two arguments: how many periods to
  draw and the height of the wave. I might program in a
  "cosine" option to change whether the wave draws up
  or down to begin with. Ooh, and perhaps cross them too!
