For data visualization, the spiral arrangement offers two significant advantages. Firstly, data with long axes can be visualized, enhancing visualization resolution. Secondly, time-series data may be used to reveal recurring patterns.
spiralize is an R package that offers a generic solution for displaying data on spirals. It has many graphics functions that allow users to construct self-defined high-level graphics quickly.
