% PostScript program to display an Archimedean spiral by approximating
% it with Bezier curves.  Can display a double spiral (two spirals
% rotated by 180 degrees with respect to each other).
%%%  Parameters:
/sepwid 100 def  % width separating successive turnings of spiral
                 % (half this if double spiral is selected)
/incrm 11.25 def % insert a curve point after this number of degrees
/sweeps 3 def    % number of 360 degree turnings to show
/centerx 280 def % horizontal coordinate of center of spiral
/centery 396 def % vertical coordinate of center of spiral
/double 0 def    % change to 1 to display double spiral
/linew 3 def     % increase number for thicker line
