Phyllotaxis is the study of the successive arrangement of radial parts of a growing plant such as the leaves on a stem or the seeds in the head of a sunflower. It generates a simple phyllotaxic arrangement of circles expanding outward at either a linear or an exponential rate. You can specify the angle between each circle (between 0 and 360 degrees) and you can determine rate of expansion using a pair of slider controls. Animated transitions between phyllotaxis arrangements which differ in their angle or their exponential rate, or both, can be created using another corresponding pair of buttons to the left of the slider controls for angle and expansion rate. With this application you can print an image of any phyllotaxis arrangement of any size.
