Nodes Spiral

Parameters

Select a node to edit its parameters.

Spiral node generates various types of spiral paths. Unlike closed shapes like the Circle or Rectangle, the Spiral is an open path by default (though it can be filled).

You can control where the spiral starts and ends relative to the center, as well as how many times it winds around the center.

Parameters

ParameterDescription
LabelThe display name for the node.
TypeChoose between different spiral types.
TranslateSets the X and Y coordinates of the shape's center.
Start radiusThe starting radius of the spiral.
End radiusThe final radius of the spiral (or scale factor).
ArmsNumber of spiral arms for Polyskelion.
HeightThe vertical height (depth) of the helix.
TiltSimulates 3D depth perception.
RevolutionsThe number of full turns the spiral makes.
PointsThe number of points used to construct the spiral path.
DivergenceControls the curvature growth or exponent for Cornu.
ScaleScales the shape from its center.
RotationRotates the shape around its center.
BlurApplies a Gaussian blur effect to the shape.
