Summary
| Description | Most elaborate version of Triple Spiral symbol constructed from mathematical Archimedean spirals (see Image:Triple-Spiral-Symbol.png). This version consists of filled spirals with four turns. See also Image:Triskele-Symbol-spiral.png (with two turns) and Image:Triple-Spiral-Symbol-filled.png (with three). Image:Triple-Spiral-4turns_green_transparent.png is another variant. For a basic triple-spiral, see Image:Triple-Spiral-Symbol.png , and for "wheeled" forms of the spiral triskelion/triple spiral symbol, see Image:Wheeled-Triskelion-basic.png , Image:Roissy triskelion iron ring signet.png , Image:Triple-spiral-wheeled-simple.png , or Image:Triskelion-spiral-threespoked-inspiral.png .

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% PostScript program to display an Archimedean spiral by approximating
% it with Bezier curves. Can display a double spiral (two spirals
% rotated by 180 degrees with respect to each other).
%%% Parameters:
% centerx = horizontal coordinate of center of spiral
% centery = vertical coordinate of center of spiral
% rotf = degrees to rotate
/sepwid 110 def % width separating successive turnings of spiral
% (half this if double spiral is selected)
% incrm = insert a curve point every these degrees
/sweeps swp2 def % number of 360 degree turnings to show
% double - 0 to display single spiral, else double
