The number of lines of latitude and longitude is independently variable. Lines of latitude and longtude are in separate subgroups. The whole figure is also in its own group. The whole sphere can be tilted towards or away from the veiwer by a given number of degrees. If the whole sphere is then rotated normally in Inkscape, any position can be acheived. There is an option to hide the lines at the back of the sphere, as if the sphere were opaque. #FIXME: Lines of latitude only have an approximation of the function needed to hide the back portion. If you can derive the proper equation, please add it in. Line of longitude have the exact method already. Workaround: Use the Inkscape ellipse tool to edit the start and end points of the lines of latitude to end at the horizon circle. #TODO: Add support for odd numbers of lines of longitude. This means breaking the line at the poles, and having two half ellipses for each line. The angles at which the ellipse arcs pass the poles are not constant and need to be derived before this can be implemented. #TODO: Add support for prolate and oblate spheroids ######LICENCE####### This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
