File talk:Helicoid.gif

Incorrect
Currently, this image gives an incorrect impression of a helicoid's shape. Namely, the image only shows half of the portion of the helicoid that's within the image's bounding cylinder. In terms of the parametric equations as given in the helicoid article, the image acts as if the range of $$\rho$$ was only $$0 \le \rho < +\infty$$, instead of $$-\infty < \rho < +\infty$$. Hopefully it won't be too hard to correct the image? Red Act (talk) 17:12, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
