Dear sundial friends,   first of all many thanks for all your feedback. Your hints were very useful. I am working now to make the improvements suggested!   Here 2 answers to your questions David: 1) Printing of the coordinates is possible for horizontal, vertical and inclining sundials: Just save the construction displayed as dxf- or plt-file. Then in the panel displayed the file name is input and one can decide too if the coordinates are printed or saved as text file.   2) Larger prints than A4 are possible if the construction is saved as file. Then this file can be input into a graphic program (for instance CorelDraw or AutoCad). There enlargement for prints or plots can be done easily. This is very useful too for output to DIN-A0-plotters.   Helmut Sonderegger Sonnengasse 24,  A-6800 Feldkirch 47.25 N,   9.59 E Homepage: http://web.utanet.at/sondereh ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: sundial@rrz.uni-koeln.de Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 1:20 PM Subject: SONNE Good program, and I use it frequently. Quite often, when drawing out large sundials for cutting in stone, I need to have co-ordinates of date curves so that I can get the shape correct, particularly at hours well before and after noon. Is it possible to extract co-ordinates (cartesian or otherwise) from the Sonne program? If so, how? Alternatively, can I get the computer to print out versions to a (pre-determined) scale larger than A4? If so, how? David Brown Somerton, Somerset, UK
