spirals (geometric figures) (geometric figures, geometric concepts, ... Associated Concepts (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Plane curves that generally wind around a point while moving ever farther from the point. Many kinds of spiral are known, including the ancient Greek Archimedean spiral, described in On Spirals (ca. 225 BCE), and the logarithmic or equiangular spiral first described by René Descartes in 1638. The curves are observed in nature, and humans have used them in machines and in ornament, notably architecture, for example, the whorl in an Ionic capital. Prefer "scrolls (motifs)" or "scrollwork" for more complex forms.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 在裝飾領域中指簡單的螺旋線；比較複雜的形式則稱「漩渦形飾 (紋飾)」或是「渦捲裝飾」。 |
| Dutch ..... Bij de verwijzing naar ornamenten te gebruiken voor simpele gekronkelde lijnen. Gebruik 'krullen (motieven)' of 'rolwerk' voor de meer ingewikkelde vormen. |
| Spanish ..... Cuando se refiere a ornamento, usar para líneas simples enrrolladas y prefiera "voluta (motivo)" o "apliqué enrrollado" para formas más complejas. |
