I have an old / incomplete script for a loxodrome which I compiled in 2010. Feel free to use (and optionally complete and improve) the script.

Thank you, everybody. I am sorry that the script is but a minimal skeleton, but that was all I needed at the time (I think is was a fly by of some obscure planets of your solar system. Due to the absence of intelligent life I decided to return home.
Of course, Frank Beckmann and the rest of you were not alive 6 billion years ago. Maybe, things have changed in the meantime :roll eyes:

Nice script. It would be interesting to make a general-purpose parametric object script (i.e. provide an expression in terms of x and y or two of r, theta, and phi, along with precision and bounds and voila, a spline). This would let people create well-defined mathematical forms without writing a script from scratch.
I'll start my stopwatch and see how long before tg_jp does it ;-)
