Summary

Description Abstract pattern with five five-fold spirals (a quintuple "pentaskelion"). This is a loose version of images Image:Triple-Triple-Spiral-triskelion.svg and Image:Triple-Triple-Spiral-Trisk-simple.svg with pentagonal rotational symmetry. For a simpler version ("wheeled" instead of enclosed within an overall spiral), see Image:Five-fivefold-spirals-Pentaskelion-simpler.svg .

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% PostScript program to display an Archimedean spiral by approximating
% it with Bezier curves.  Displays a quintuple spiral (ten spirals
% rotated by 36 degree increments).
%%%  Parameters:
                 % centerx = horizontal coordinate of center of spiral
                 % centery = vertical coordinate of center of spiral
                 % rotf = degrees to rotate
/sepwid 110 def  % width separating successive turnings of spiral
                 % (a tenth of this between successive spirals)
/incrm 18 def    % insert a curve point after this number of degrees
