Graphing a weird shape (based on the block game minecraft)

[rockiter24]

The shape I'm trying to graph is a shape based on the block game minecraft

I'm trying to get the odd width of it but I am stuck. I'm using desmos but I am fine if the equation is in geogebra the equation I started with is this.

|x|+|y|<r gives a straight line version.

Then I came up with this.

ceil(|x|)+ceil(|y|)<r gives the blocky version but as the issue where it is even.
I am not sure on how to make this odd. I would really appreciate the help thanks.

Try this:



Here r=7. You should be able to adjust the inequality to use a parameter describing the size more directly.

It works better when I enlarge rather than reduce:


Now r means something.
