[qycawhmc] Helical gradient

A disc colored like the height map of one turn of a spiral ramp.  It is a gradient with a sharp discontinuity on one radial ray.  The center is grayish.

Is it a helicoid?  Seems not, because I think the helicoid intersects a cylinder in a double helix, while this is single.

The purpose is to draw a circular dial without having to choose the width of the hand.
