Thanks Mac The software to generate these dials is available to anyone with an Apple Mac. The package is called Nodebox and it's free. I can supply the source for this dial for anyone who has a Mac. Nodebox is a really powerful 2-D graphics package and is becoming available (I think) for Windows and Unix with a fancier user interface
If you go to http://nodebox.net/code/index.php/Gallery you can see the amazing graphics that can be produced and scroll to the bottom of that page, click on the Sundial you can see the dial I am making for my brother… (Click the link in that document to see about slanting fonts to point to the gnomon foot) I have had a lot of fun with the package Best wishes Kevin On 7 Mar 2013, at 12:20, Mac Oglesby <ogle...@sover.net> wrote: > > Hi Kevin, > > That's a fine looking sundial.
