Yes, please download..... illustratingshadows.xls from Illustrating Shadows and look at some of the subsheets. Use the insert chart feature in excel. Look at my h-dial-analemma worksheet which uses Cartesian coordinates creating the familiar figure of 8. Warning... aspect ratio is not preserved, that is why I also add two orthogonal lines as in "h dial" worksheet, so you can stretch or squeeze the chart until the lines intersect at 90 degrees. My web also has notes on messing with excel. Also consider Kingsoft. Caution with open office however because I once got malware from the official site, not detected by the virus checker I used back then, which was a top of the line. Simon

Apart from variable numbers of radii and concentric circles, numbers and text need to appear in the circles. I've found something that does the first part, (albeit PDF) but not the latter. Thank you. ------------------------------ --------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mai lman/listinfo/sundial Links in the message | | Illustrating Shadows |
