AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a nautilus spiral curve defined by a parametric equation where the radius is a function of the angle, with the angle ranging from -20 to 10. Place a fixed center point and mark a series of points along the curve. Measure and display the distances from the center to each of these points, and also show an angle formed by the center, a reference point, and the curve's starting point. The distances should vary progressively along the spiral, suggesting a pattern that can be fitted to a normal distribution. The illustration should clearly show the spiral's expanding coils, the center, the measurement segments, and the angle marker, combining geometric and statistical elements.
