Hi,
I believe the P2 f_spiral parameter specifies the radius and not the
diameter as documented. Demonstration scene below.
Thanks.

// This scene using orthographic camera and a sphere of radius 1.0
// translated below a spiral function with P2 set to 1.0, shows the P2
// parameter for the function f_spiral in section "3.4.9.1.7.9 Internal
// Functions" is really the radius not the diameter. Documentation
// today reads:
//
// f_spiral(x,y,z, P0, P1, P2, P3, P4, P5):
//
// P0 : Distance between windings
// P1 : Thickness
// P2 : Outer diameter of the spiral. The surface behaves
// as if it is contained_by a sphere of this diameter
// P3 : Not used
// P4 : Not used
// P5 : Cross section type
