: In need of spiral Could someone tell me how to create a fibonacci spiral substituting the actual line with a string of 1s and 0s? I have tried AutoCad but can't seem to figure out how to

@Kimberly620

Well, if you have AutoCAD use AutoCAD. Just draw the spiral, either approximate it or user a autolisp script to raw the curve. Then use something like the autolisp script curvetext to type the text needed on your path.



Image 1: Quick test with quickly spline approximated fibonachi spiral. One can fit the curves better this is more of a proof of concept.

Or you can do this in ilustrator or inkscape if you wish.

In Illustrator:

Assuming you can create the spiral line (=quarter circles) a few cuts, you can simply replace normal solid stroke. Create a pattern brush that have 1 and 0.



The binary string can be whatever. The numbers can be rotated. Convert the characters to outlines to allow free geometric manipulation.

Other options:

Illustrator can place also text along a path. It's better than the brush method, if it's important to keep individual characters undistorted. The brush method distorts characters if the curve has steep curvature.

Inkscape has path effect "Pattern along a path"
