The axis of the helix lies along the modeling coordinate z-axis. An affine transform can be applied as the contour is swept. For most ordi- nary usage, the affines should be given as NULL. The "startXform[][]" is an affine matrix applied to the contour to deform the contour. Thus, "startXform" of the form | cos sin 0 | | -sin cos 0 | will rotate the contour (in the plane of the contour), while | 1 0 tx | | 0 1 ty | will translate the contour, and | sx 0 0 | | 0 sy 0 | scales along the two axes of the contour. In particular, note that | 1 0 0 | | 0 1 0 | is the identity matrix. The "dXformdTheta[][]" is a differential affine matrix that is integrated while the contour is extruded. Note that this affine matrix lives in the tangent space, and so it should have the form of a generator. Thus, dx/dt's of the form | 0 r 0 | | -r 0 0 | rotate the the contour as it is extruded (r == 0 implies no rotation, r == 2*PI implies that the contour is rotated once, etc.), while | 0 0 tx | | 0 0 ty | translates the contour, and | sx 0 0 | | 0 sy 0 | scales it. In particular, note that | 0 0 0 | | 0 0 0 | is the identity matrix -- i.e. the derivatives are zero, and therefore the integral is a constant.
