Spiral sequences through the integer plane

I'm shocked that these seem to be absent. Consider the coordinates of a
path spirally traversing the integer plane (principal quadrant or whole)
any of the usual ways. These all seem to be absent from EIS. Am I right?
For example, spanning the principal quadrant in this way in either of
the two departures from the origin, for example:
{{0,0},{0,1},{1,1},{1,0},{2,0},{2,1},{2,2},{1,2},{0,2},{0,3}, ...}
Or spiraling in either handedness from any of four departures from the
origin, for example:
{{0,0},{1,0},{1,1},{0,1},{-1,1},{-1,0},{-1,-1},{0,-1},{1,-1},...}
Are these in EIS and if not can you provide a closed formula for the
n-th coordinate in any matter of traversal?
