Notes

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Helix.html In a single rotation with an axial climb of P, the length of the helix will be a factor of 2*pi*sqrt(r^2+c^2)/2*pi*c longer than vertical length L. P = 2*pi*c.

getBoundingCircleOuterDiameter(Tc=None, cold=False)

Abstract bounding circle method that should be overwritten by each shape subclass.

getComponentArea(cold=False)

Computes the area for the helix in cm^2.
