This repository uses GNU Octave to reproduce the orange peel spiral plot in the paper 'Orange Peels And Fresnel Integrals' by Laurent Bartholdi and Andre Henriques. The paper can be found on arxiv and is included in this repository.

Below is a side by side comparison of a plot generated using this repository and the plot included in the paper. Both plots use N=3 for the spiral width. The new plot can be reproduced by running ./plot_peel_spiral.m 3 on a machine with octave on its path.

New Plot	Original Plot

The Octave script can generate plots for arbitrary spiral width by manipulating the command line arguments. For N=5, the command ./plot_peel_spiral.m 5 gives the following plot.
