Detailed Description

Example: Golden spiral

The Golden Spiral is a logarithmic spiral whose growth factor is the golden ratio $\phi=1,618$.

It is defined by the polar equation:

\[ r = ae^{b\theta} \]

where

\[ \operatorname{abs}(b) = \frac{\operatorname{ln}(\phi)}{\frac{\pi}{2}} \]

To get cartesian coordinates, it can be solved for $x$ and $y$ in terms of $r$ and $\theta$. By setting $a=1$, it yields to the equation:

\[ r = e^{0.30649\times\theta} \]

with

\[ x=r\operatorname{cos}(\theta), \quad y=r\operatorname{sin}(\theta) \]

The tuple $(r,\theta)$ is related to the position for $x$ and $y$ on the curve. $r$ and $\theta$ are positive numbers.

To get reasonable interval starting sizes, $x$ and $y$ are restricted to $[-20;20]$.
