Greetings -- We have a length of tubing with a line drawn down its length. The line is marked off in inches. We want to know how how that line would transform when we shape the tube into a helix. I looked through my math books and could not find the cylindrical to helical transformation. How would I do such a transformation in Mathematica? TIA Andy Qualls
