RCOMM 2011 Challenge 3: RapidDraw

This is a solution for Challenge 3 of the a live data mining process design competition "Who Wants to be a Data Miner" held at RCOMM 2011 in Dublin.

The task was to generate a dataset that looks like a spiral when viewed in an appropriate plotter.

This process opens a file with three initial data points and subsequently adds more points to the data set in a loop, using macros to extract data values of the predecessors and a "Generate Attributes" operator to add new data points.

To view the result, use a "Scatter Multiple" plot, assign x and y tpo their respective axes, and click on "Points and Lines" to see the spiral.
