John and all DeltaCad users,

Why don't you take the DeltaCad code for Horizontal #7 and add in an option for 
beaded analemmas instead of the straight hour lines?

Subject: beaded analemmas


Dear Fer and others:

I just finished constructing my large stone sundial which has analemmas at
each hour.  I used Francois Blateyron's Shadows program because his program
has the option of drawing a point on each analemma for days 1,6,11,16,21 and
26 of each month. (a beaded analemma).  Beaded analemmas allow for more
accurate date readings and are nice to look at besides.

A new customer saw my dial and wants one just like it. But I would rather
use Zonwlak 2000 for this new sundial since Shadows cannot be used with
Delta Cad. However, there seems to be no way to draw a beaded analemma using
Zonwlak!  I think this would be a great addition to Zonwlak's programming.

If this isn't possible, does anybody know of any other generator programs
(other than Shadows) which will draw beaded analemmas but will also work
with Delta Cad?

Thanks so much
