Dear Simon & Others" Robert Terwilliger has updated the NASS webpage on Delta Cad at http://www.sundials.org/links/local/deltacad/ and has included a link to your webpage and to my DC NASS talk outline.
I think you should add a link to the NASS page as well so that people can find the other Macros that are located there. I'm so glad that Delta Cad is getting the attention it deserves. I think all this new information will be very helpful to DC beginners and old users as well. Thanks Simon & Bob, John -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Simon [illustratingshadows Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2007 12:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Delta Cad and java and Excel I revised the DeltaCAD macros with added notes (no logic or display changes) and also provided better explanations of them, as well as text in the data entry pane should you hit the "script error" message, which can be ignored. And the DeltaCAD folks and their basic supplier have not figured that message out yet. I just uploaded JAVA code for text as well as graphical displays of a horizontal dial, and added significantly to the notes on JAVA programming, with copious examples and some stuff not found in the books (classes and methods included). The Excel spreadsheet: reference-spreadsheets.xls as a reminder has almanac, horizontal and vertical (declining also) sheets, a meridian and a polar sheet, analemma figure of 8 sheet, sunrise/set sheet, dial plate reverse engineering, wall declination sheets, and can depict a dial plate with the Excel graph tool, also it has the astronomical EOT sheet, inclined decliner sheet, lunar phases, calendar or date curve/line calculator, and a planispheric astrolabe data depiction for creating astrolabes, and finally the analemmatic dial for a yard. The C++, PASCAL, and Visual Basic as well as normal Basic stuff is there also. Statistically the DeltaCAD stuff is highest in hits, Visual Basic and normal Basic next, Pascal third, with C and java lowest. The turbocad TCW files get a lot hits.
