Ideas for improving `makeHelicoid.m`

[NatalieZelenka]

• [x] Make a separate script to test the make helicoid function
  • [x] move parameters like homefol that are currently commented out over there
• [x] Make sure we don't have duplicate variables that refer to the same thing (e.g. ar and AR).
• [x] Write some docstrings for the arguments of your function.
• [x] Make smaller functions for bits of code with specific purposes and give them descriptive names.
• [x] Have default values for things that aren't provided (maybe we might need to research how that looks exactly)

[Rm1509]

• [ ] use profiling on the matlab script
• [ ] use profiling on the lumerical script
• [ ] decide in what order to create / open / rotate the shapes (according to profiler)
• [ ] allow different shapes to be made by calling their names
• [ ] work out how best to run both pieces of code together - through cmd or through matlab (or python)?
• [ ] design first tests and output plots
