Hyperbolic spiral
From JSXGraph Wiki
It can be described in polar coordinates [math]\displaystyle{ (r, \theta) }[/math] by the equation
- [math]\displaystyle{ r = \frac{a}{\theta}\, }[/math]
with a real number [math]\displaystyle{ a }[/math].
The JavaScript code to produce this picture
var board = JXG.JSXGraph.initBoard('jxgbox', {originX: 250, originY: 250, unitX: 50, unitY: 50});
var a = board.create('slider', [[0,5],[8,5],[0,4,30]],{name:'a'});
var c = board.create('curve', [function(phi){return a.Value()/phi; }, [0, 0],0, 8*Math.PI],
{curveType:'polar', strokewidth:4});
