The <code>spiral2</code> pattern creates a double spiral that winds around
the z-axis similar to <code>spiral1</code> except that it has two overlapping spirals
which twist in opposite directions. The result sometimes looks like a basket
weave or perhaps the skin of pineapple. The center of a sunflower also has a
similar double spiral pattern. Its syntax is:
<pre>
pigment {
spiral2 Number_of_Arms
[PIGMENT_MODIFIERS...]
}
</pre>

The <code>Number_of_Arms</code> value determines how may arms are
winding around the z-axis. As a normal pattern, the syntax is
<pre>
normal {
spiral2 Number_of_Arms [, Bump_Size]
[NORMAL_MODIFIERS...]
}
</pre>

where the <code>Number_of_Arms</code> value is a required
parameter but the float <code>Bump_Size</code> which follows is
optional.
Note: The comma is required especially if Bump_Size is negative. The pattern uses the <code>triangle_wave</code> wave type by default but may use any wave type.
