cluster_helix — cluster_helix • cda

Particles arranged along a helix

cluster_helix(N = 5, a = 10, b = 10, c = 20, R0 = 100, pitch = 200,
  delta = pi/5, delta0 = 0, right = TRUE, angles = c("helix", "random",
  "fixed"), seed = 123, ...)

Arguments

N: number of particles
a: semi-axis along x
b: semi-axis along y

R0: radius of helix
pitch: pitch of helix
delta: angle between particles
delta0: initial angle
right: logical, helicity
angles: type of angular orientation
seed: random seed for reproducibility
...: extra arguments (ignored)

Value
