Hi Valentin

what do you think about a fin to fold ?
The stability of the gnomon depends on the latitude too, i might draw 2 fins 
with latitude over 30 or 40°.

Dear Fabio and sundial colleagues,
I am glad that the paper dials become more popular.
Perhaps you remember that I prepared some types of paper sundials using
DeltaCad
www.math.bas.bg/complan/valhrist/mystuff.htm,
but a very important jump was made at Damia's web site
http://sundial.damia.net/vertical/sundial.php
with using Google maps.
Now Fabio goes further in the same direction with new types of paper dials 
at

www.sundialatlas.eu/atlas.php?gnomolab=3
for which all of us are very very thankful to him!!!

Perhaps not everything is perfect, therefore many people made some
suggestions.
I also want to add a possible improvement. It concerns Paper dial No 4.
Attached is a picture of an additional drawing, which allows to keep the
gnomon perpendicular to the plane. Perhaps there are some other
construction, e.g. origami ones (Wee-Meng Lee is an origami specialist,
see http://leewm.freeshell.org/origami/) and I hope all we could help with
ideas for further improvements of the constructions.

All the best for the coming New Year 2012 !!!

step 3.  center the compass indicator on the location of the dial
(by entering search address or navigating to the site)

step 4.  zoom in as needed and rotate the compass (using the blue
tabs on the compass ring) to determine the declination

step 5.  click on the UTC button (right hand column) and select the
UTC offset for  the location

step 6.  select "paper sundial" about half way down the right-hand

Thank you!

It's a great toy.  As others have said, the usability is a bit of a 
problem but that's fine; I doubt the casual user could really figure out 
what they need in a sundial.  I would suggest a link to a lat-long map, 
or even a google maps interface that could let you generate a sundial by 
clicking on a map.

Hi Thibaut

to save a location (with UTC, declination, text, title) you have to log-in, if 
logged you will see your email in the top right corner of the window, just 
below the flags.
After setted the values click on the ‘save’ button in right column, you’ll get 
a window to enter a title and a description text. It is needed to insert a 
title or you cannot save the data.
You will find a menu, below the ‘archive’ label, with the list of the titles 
saved. With a click on one of them you will load its data.
You can save or load the data from the archivie in every windows of Gnomolab: 
Gnomolab, solar compass and paper sundial.

Please contact me if you find difficulties to archive, I tested it now and it 
is ok.

Re: paper sundial

2011-12-16 Thread Fabio nonvedolora
Hi Roger

Sundial Atlas has many functions and sections, it is growing and it works with 
four languages. For these reasons I am looking to get its mmands more 
intuitive, without written explanations or at least minimized. Obviously it 
isn’t easy and the matter is not simple to describe.
At the beginning of the year I restyled the layout and the graphic of the 
website for this purpose and I am planning another action at the beginning of 
2012. I have a list of points to do, it includes new developments, 
improvements, graphical enhancements and it is divided into sections according 
to the urgency or importance of the actions. A section is dedicated to the next 
restyle action and it contains all the suggestions and impressions you wrote me.
I thank you for your comments and I am grateful to anyone will help me with 
suggestions or criticism.

For this new section of Gnomlab, paper sundials, I give you some info.
In the right column you may click on the orange asterisk close to latitude to 
change the coordinates.
Another orange asterisk allows you to select UTC.
As an alternative you may switch to Gnomolab window, with a click on ‘Gnomolab’ 
in the right column. Here you may pan and zoom the map to find a location or 
you can use Geocoder to describe an address asking Google to find it (orange 
asterisk beside ‘search for an address). Switching back to ‘paper sundial’ 
(click the logo in the right column) you will transfer the values setted in 
Gnomolab.
In Gnomolab you can set the declination of a wall too. Above the map you’ll 
find some blu icons with the values 10, 1 and 0.1; clikking on them you’ll get 
revolving the red diameter of the goniometer to evaluate the declination of the 
buildings. The declination is transferred to ‘paper sundials’ too but it is 
shown only for the models where needed (at the moment only the model n.3).

The model n.3 allows to insert an image, logo or photo. You may use the 
available images or upload yours file (jpg or gif, max 2MB).
To upload an image you need to log-in, then click on the camera icon in the 
right column and you will get the upload window. With the upload you can choose 
if the image is public or personal. It is possible to change some settings 
after the upload (only for the files you have uploaded): select the photo then 
click on the down orange arrow to read its features, you will also find some 
icons to turn, delete or switch from public to personal or opposite.

For every model it is possible to set some features in the left side of the 
windows, then with a click on the ‘draw’ button, after few seconds (it depends 
on the complexity of your choices) you will get a pdf window with the paper 
sundial.

If you need any other info please contact me,

thank you, ciao, Fabio

Thank you Fabio.

I checked the link and found it quite useful but the use is not intuitive but 
subtle. A casual observer like me has no idea how to use the page to create a 
personal design. Many will click onto the link and then stall. It is not 
obvious how to get the program to respond. I found moving the cursor to the 
sunburst beside location data worked. There I could input my location. Look for 
the pointed finger cursor on the sunbursts. Entry your specific data to 
generate a design. Then click on the pdf drawing tab to see the design.
It works like a charm as you said. Thanks for this gift for the members of the 
sundial list.

Hi all, news from the clouds.

I’ve a toy for the end of the year.
I don’t think this is the very last end of the year, like some Maya supposed, 
and this is a great year, it is better than 2012 :-)  (like the same Maya 
didn’t know) so I hope you have fun with this new section of Sundial Atlas.

You can reach ‘paper sundial’, a menu of Gnomolab, directly at this address: 
www.sundialatlas.eu/atlas.php?gnomolab=3
You will find 4 models, this number is growing and if you have other models to 
propose, I’ll be happy to develop them in Gnomolab.

The models may be setted for any coordinates and other features, you will get a 
pdf as replay.
The 3rd model is designed to be applied to glass windows (you may found the 
declination of the windows with Gnomolab). It has a small gnomonic hole you can 
do with a pin or a small nail, moreover this model may be customed with a photo 
(or a logo). I uploaded some sample photos but anyone may upload other photos 
(public or for personal use).

Have fun, ciao, Fabio

Thanks for the link.
I tried to save the location data after having 
been logged in. That didn't work (yet).

A Google Maps paper sundial [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

2010-10-19 Thread Hank de Wit
Hello all,

Have fun with this Google Maps mash-up for a vertical sundial. At the very 
least you can get a quick estimate of a wall's declination angle.

The Sundial Primer - Paper Sundial Kits

2006-08-07 Thread Carl & Barbara Sabanski
Sunny Day,

I have just posted a number of new paper sundial kits at Sunny Day U.  There
is one that may be of particular interest to some of you.  It is a
combination horizontal and analemmatic sundial.

I have laid out the dial plate on an 8-1/2" by 11" sheet of paper and
maximized their size.  This allows for a 5-minute interval between hour
lines and points.  The date lines on the analemmatic sundial are at 5-day
intervals.  The sundials are designed for a latitude of 45 degrees and come
in models for both hemispheres.  But wait!   The dial plate is adjustable
for latitudes between 25 and 65 degrees.  The horizontal sundial has a wide
gnomon and illustrates the required layout for the hour lines.  It is quite
easy to build but does have quite a few parts.

The best thing about this sundial combination, as you know, is that it is
self-orientating.  Place the gnomon of the analemmatic sundial on the
correct date line and turn the entire dial until both sundials indicate the
same time.  It's just that easy!  There are arrows on the outer box to help
you mark the north-south and east-west lines.

Just like operation of the cannon sundial this sundial kit is offered at a
blow out pricefree!!!  And don't forget to get a "Correct-A-Dial II" to
help you convert from solar to clock time.

I have attached a small photo of the sundial.

Happy Dialling!
