I've looked into modifying the Inkscape Spiral tool to make different kinds of spirals and in fact in my current version of SVN have substituted a logarithmic spiral for the Archimedes spiral. However it is non-trivial to include both as the mathematical properties are different (one can start at r=0 while the other never reaches that point).
Is it possible to still have this feature with an extension attribute as bulia suggests?
In my SVN I've also modified the Tiled Clones dialog to allow logarithmic spirals. This could probably be added... it requires adding a^x displacements as well as x^n. See attached PNG.
Sounds interesting, sounds like worth implementing ;-) and triggers another question, rather for Johan: will Live Path Effects work with Spiral tool?
The modified Function Plotter effect included in SVN can plot different kinds of spirals however it appears to be broken after the changes for "Live Effects".
Let's wait for the fix then ;)
