Summary

Description
English: Sphere wireframe - orthogonal projection of a sphere. The image shows lines, which are drawn as they were painted onto the surface of a sphere. The angular distance between two lines is 10°. The SVG file is created by the below C++-program, which calculates each edge of a line as an ellipse-bow. The backside of the sphere has an opacity of 0.25. The axis tilt is 52.5°.

Source Code

This image can be completely generated by the following source code. If you have the gnu compiler collection installed, the programm can be compiled by the following commands:

g++ sphere_wireframe.cpp -o sphere_wireframe

and run :

./sphere_wireframe > Sphere_wireframe.svg

It creates file Sphere_wireframe.svg in working directory. This file can be viewed using rsvg-view program :

rsvg-view Sphere_wireframe.svg
