Loop array

[fereshteh.khojasteh]

Hello,
I want to make an array of these squares in a spiral. Here is the definition for this loop. But it has some errors and doesn’t work correctly. Any idea about how to fix it?

Thank you all

Have a look at this:

Reorganise a grid of rectangles, so that they are numbered along a spiral within the same grid

Hello! So I have produced an adjustable grid of rectangles and I would like to organize these rectangles into a list order that follows a spiral pattern on the same grid. (I’m not so bothered here about the direction of the spiral, or whether the spiral goes from an outer corner to the centre, or from the centre outward.) The end-game is to apply a regular pattern of colors to the squares that follows the path of the spiral. In order to do this the rectangles would have to be numbered in order…

Thanks but it is different I think. I am not asking about the sorting, I want to generate these spiral of squares.

Have you downloaded the def and gone through it? Yes, he’s sorting, but sorting to create a spiral of rectangles out of a rectangular grid.

Here is the same logic used by Erick Vásquez, in the link from Ethan Gross, applied to your approximate geometry.

Thank you, but I want it to work in a loop (using anemone plugin) so that it starts with one square and puts another beside it. Finally, it fills a boundary in a spiral way.

I may be missing something, but this essentially does the same thing. Just use the last slider on the right to add more rectangles to the spiral.

[fereshteh.khojasteh]

Yeah, thank you very much.

[fereshteh.khojasteh]

Just one more point. In your definition a rectangular array of the squares is first defined and then it just presents it through the last slider. How if we don’t make if from the first, and just let the algorithm to place the shapes next to each other? It is what I wanted it to do.
