Sketching an Equiangular Spiral

May 24, 2007 1 Replies

Does anyone have a trick for sketching an "Equiangular Spiral"?



You'll need to generate points (probably in Excel) using the polar equation r=a*e^(b*theta). You can then convert to Cartesion coordinates ( x=r*cos(theta), y=r*sin(theta), z=0) and input them as a curve in SW. Check the help file for the exact function to use and how to format the data. I believe it's just a tab-delimited listing of xyz coordinates.
