Spirals generator in Motion
This generator creates a repeating circular spiral pattern.
Adjust this generator using the controls in the Generator Inspector:
• Type: A pop-up menu that specifies whether a modern or classic spiral is created. There
are two menu items:
• Modern (Linear): Creates a modern spiral pattern, with the color swirls evenly
spaced as they move toward the center of the spiral.
• Classic (Exponential): Creates a classic spiral pattern with color swirls becoming
thinner as they move toward the center of the spiral.
• Center: Value sliders that set the center point of the generator in the canvas. The left
value slider represents X position; the right value slider represents Y position. To access
individual X and Y controls, click the disclosure triangle. (You can also use the Adjust
Item tool to modify this parameter with onscreen controls. See Modify or animate a
generator in Motion.)
