NAME
       gleHelicoid - Generalized torus, spiral with circle contour.

SYNTAX
       void gleHelicoid (gleDouble rToroid,
			 gleDouble up[3],
			 gleDouble startRadius,
			 gleDouble drdTheta,
			 gleDouble startZ,
			 gleDouble dzdTheta,
			 gleDouble startXform[2][3],
			 gleDouble dXformdTheta[2][3],
			 gleDouble startTheta,
			 gleDouble sweepTheta);

ARGUMENTS
       rToroid	 circle contour (torus) radius

       startRadius
		 spiral starts in x-y plane

       drdTheta  change in radius per revolution

       startZ	 starting z value

       dzdTheta  change in Z per revolution

       startXform
		 starting contour affine transformation

       dXformdTheta
		 tangent change xform per revolution

       startTheta
		 start angle in x-y plane

       sweepTheta
		 degrees to spiral around

DESCRIPTION
       Generalized Torus. Similar to gleSpiral, except contour is a circle.  Uses gleSpiral to draw.
