Phyllotaxis Spiral

Vogel model of golden-angle phyllotaxis packing.

About this tool

Phyllotaxis spiral uses Vogel’s deterministic model r=c√n and θ=nα. The golden angle α≈137.508° is the default; try a rational angle such as 120° to compare its visible radial spokes. c is a distance-scale parameter, not a biological growth constant. The construction is deterministic and uses no random seed.
