What was your motivation for the following function?

  function rotateLine(position) {
    if (position < halfabet) {
      context.rotate((-90 \* Math.PI) / 180);
    } else if (position > halfabet) {
      context.rotate((90 \* Math.PI) / 180);
    } else if (position === halfabet) {
      context.rotate((180 \* Math.PI) / 180);
    }
  }

I'm sure you have your reasons, but when I was writing the alphabet to make a spiral I found the rotation reverse on me at 'n' which is where the other cases of rotateline() kick in. Why isn't this function just:

  function rotateLine(position) {
    context.rotate((-90 \* Math.PI) / 180);
  }

Is it because it creates uninteresting results for actual names? Everyone just becomes spiral variations?
