If the cone_angle<0
the helix gets smaller as it proceeds so the radius
isn't the "minimum" but maybe the "base" radius.
Hmm good note; hadn't considered that. I don't think "base" radius is necessarily clear, as it's not clear what "base" means (I guess it's the radiux closest to the orgin?).
Perhaps:
When
cone_angle != 0
, theradius
argument is the radius at the side of the cone closest to the origin. Whencone_angle > 0
, the radius expands outwards farther from the origin; whencone_angle < 0
, the radius spirals inwards.
When
cone_angle>0
, the cone of the helix expands outwards (thus making theradiux
arg the "minimum radius"). The docs don't currently mention this.
