Yes, that's an idea. Shouldn't be too much of a hassle (I'm sure you're going to run off and implement his yourself now!
)
Nah, I'm too lazy, I just realised I can always scale the points after the spiral is drawn.

Just guessing without looking at it, but you might be able to extract the details and guess the arguments for much of this from the Rotate tool code.
Hmm, you can always animate the rotation later, using the normal tools.
A better project might be to make a multi-arm spiral - so you can have multi-coloured fills - maybe a text-box for choosing the number of arms ?
Maybe auto-weld the center points, and create and weld a multi-point circle around the outer points ?
Now that is a tool I could use - if you don't feel like trying that or don't get a chance in the next couple of weeks, I'll try implementing that one.
