Hi all,

I would like to learn how to approximately sketch this figure using polar coordinates.

http://cfs12.blog.daum.net/image/33/blog/2008/07/31/13/04/489139cee2158&filename=일괄편집_22-01고태극도.jpg

*** Note that I am only asking to sketch the outer circle and the two spiral arms; not the spokes nor the inner circle. Assume the spiral arms reach the origin.

I assume there will need to be three functions.

1. r1 = some diameter for the outer circle
2. r2 = spiral arm one = something similar to the cardioid with an interval such that the spiral arm reaches from the origin to the outer circle.
3. r3 = similar to r2, except moving in the opposite direction

I'm not sure how to represent the logarithmic change in gradient of the spiral arm, from the centre outwards.

Thanks in advance,
