Spirals tab of ShapeMaker dialog box
The controls in this tab are as follows:
Type: Lets you choose Archimedes (an evenly spaced circular spiral), Golden Spiral (a
spiral built with the golden ratio), or Custom (this makes the Winds field available, so
you can control how many times the spiral goes around).
Rate: Lets you control how quickly the width of the spiral increases.
Clockwise and Counterclockwise: Lets you control the direction of the spiral.
Segments per wind: Lets you control how circular the spiral is.
Smoothness: Lets you control how smooth the spiral is. You can get a harder-edged shape
by lowering the Segments per wind value and decreasing the Smoothness value.
