Tiling using Spiral Hexaskelions


The spirals are logarithmic spirals:
r(θ) = a exp(bθ), b = 0.25.


The spirals are logarithmic spirals:
r(θ) = a exp(bθ), b = golden ratio ~ 0.618.


The spirals are Archimedean spirals.
(1 < number of spiral turns < 2)


The spirals are Archimedean spirals.
(2 < number of spiral turns < 3)


The spirals are logarithmic spirals:
r(θ) = a exp(bθ), b = 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, ..., 0.8.

Spiral Starfish - a logarithmic spiral pentaskelion (螺旋海星)

A pentaskelion with five logarithmic spirals r(θ) = a*exp(b*θ),
b ~ 0.30635 (same as that of the golden spiral).

b = 0.25

b = 0.5

b = golden ratio ~ 0.618

Double Spirals - images of nested regular polygons under conformal mappings

(n = 6, Draw type = Lines)

(n = 4, Draw type = Dots)


These are images of nested regular polygons (n=6 & n=4)
under the Mobius transformation z -> 3(z-1)/(z+1).
