If you are using Illy CS, why don't you just use the built in Spiral tool from the Toolbar?
- r_mutt0
because that's not a golden spiral
- r_mutt0
i've constructed a spiral using quarter circles, but it's not the *real* golden spiral, which is based on a pretty complex algorithm.
but since this thing is pretty well known, i thought maybe somebody has an eps.

and how big does it need to be before you would ever notice the deviation from the "real" one??
- r_mutt0
well, i'm printing it around A2 size, and i doubt that it will be perceptible but i'd like to use the real one. it'll save me a footnote.
