Spiral Layout
A spiral curve is a special curve that has a specified radius at one
end, which gradually changes to an infinite radius at the other end.
It is commonly used as a transition between a straight section and a
circular curve.
The Spiral Layout screen is used to calculate the pertinent parts of a
circular curve after specifying the spiral curve’s radius and length.
