	Options = {
		Radius:	numeric (pixels), horizontal distance between starting and final points;
		Duration: number of milliseconds (as for animate) ;
		Easing:	the number of cicles - if it is higher than 2 it will make more turns and will assume a 'bouncing' deceleration effect
		Queue:	boolean (as for animate) ;
		Ydirection: boolean. If true, the rotation starts going up instead of down.
		Xdirection: boolean. If true the movement will be from left to the right, instead of right to left.
		InsideOut: boolean. If true, the object will whirl out from the inside of the spiral. Note that setting it to true changes the sense of Xdirection ;
