Fellow Shadow Watchers,
Some while ago we were asked about software for plotting
'gores' for globe making and I can never resist a challenge!
In odd minutes between metal butchery I've produced a 'blank' globe plotted as
12 gores and divided into 15° of longitude and 15° of latitude although the
latter is easily changed by un-grouping and adding more lines. Additional
longitude lines are possible with a little ingenuity.
The original is small, only 70mm diameter, but can be stretched to any
desired size. The next stage is to plot an outline world map onto the gores
but I may leave that until my next retirement :-) as I've no real use for it as
yet.
If any Mac User with Claris Draw or MacDraw Pro etc. would like a copy to play
with it I'll attach one to an email then at least it may serve some useful
purpose.
If Mac GlobePlotter or somesuch already exists as shareware or freeware - I
don't think I want to know :-)
