Spirolaterals are repeated plots of line segments of constantly increasing length (up to a given maximum), with a specified angle of turn after each segment. Cyclic patterns instead use segments of arbitrary lengths, including repetitions, with an angle calculated to generate a given symmetry and to close after a given number of cycles.
