Triangle Circles and Spirals


	Triangles placed on a series of polygons can be arranged in circles or spirals, often resulting in visually striking patterns that can be used in graphic design. The vertices of the triangles can be interpreted either as the vertices of the polygons or as points of logarithmic spirals.
