Version of the Triple Spiral symbol (see Image:Triple-Spiral-Symbol.png) with the area enclosed between the spirals filled in (and mirror-reflected with respect to Image:Triple-Spiral-Symbol.png). For a less elaborate triskelion symbol, see Image:Triskele-Symbol-spiral.png or Image:Triskele-Symbol-spiral-five-thirds-turns.png -- for a more elaborate version, see Image:Triple-Spiral-Symbol-4turns-filled.png.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% PostScript program to display an Archimedean spiral by approximating
% it with Bezier curves.  Can display a double spiral (two spirals
% rotated by 180 degrees with respect to each other).
%%%  Parameters:
                 % centerx = horizontal coordinate of center of spiral
                 % centery = vertical coordinate of center of spiral
                 % rotf = degrees to rotate
/sepwid 110 def  % width separating successive turnings of spiral
                 % (half this if double spiral is selected)
                 % incrm = insert a curve point every these degrees
/sweeps swp2 def % number of 360 degree turnings to show
                 % double - 0 to display single spiral, else double
