Summary[edit]

Description A triskelion of three three-fold spirals, which is "wheeled" (a simplified version of Image:Triple-Triple-Spiral-triskelion.svg ; see also File:Triple-Triple-Spiral-Trisk-simpler.svg ). This is an ornate version of the Triple-spiral symbol. For a basic version of the Triple-spiral symbol, and links to further variants, see Image:Triple-Spiral-Symbol.svg .

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% 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:
                 % 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
                 % (half this if double spiral is selected)
/incrm 30 def    % insert a curve point after this number of degrees
/sweeps 1.2 def  % number of 360 degree turnings to show
/double 1 def    % change to 0 to display single spiral
/triple 1 def    % change to 0 to for non-triple inner spiral
