Summary:
Demonstrates how to create Archimedean Spirals using RhinoScript. (Rhino 4.0)
Answer:
In polar coordinates (r, Θ), an Archimedean Spiral can be described by the following equation:
r = a + bΘ
with real numbers a and b. Changing the parameter a will turn the spiral, while b controls the distance between successive turnings.
