The points where the curve intersects with itself are plotted on the graph.... along with a lot of other points.

If you want the coordinates of the intersection points plotted in readable text next to them, you need to define a few more curves to get them in.

Refer to the great work "Creating amazing images with mathcad" by Byrge Birkeland for ideas on how to do that.

Success!

    Sorry, I misunderstood your original question.

    To solve the problem at hand, I would mathematically create the lissajous-shape in 3D, then make a projection of it on a (2D) surface and find the intersecting points of it.

    Why the detour? because now you only have two expressions, and a single running variable. I see no path where that brings you to more than 2 solutions.

    Success!

      So I have a query : How to rotate a graph (pi/2) clockwise and (pi/2) counter-clockwise ?

            Best Regards.

    > How to rotate a graph (pi/2) clockwise and (pi/2) counter-clockwise ?

    clockwise: replace the x(t) on the abscissa by y(t) and the y(t) on the ordinate by -x(t)

    counter clockwise: replace the x(t) on the abscissa by -y(t) and the y(t) on the ordinate by x(t)
