    Re: Celestial globe gores

    Dear David,

    Thank you very much to judge the prize for me! I can admit it now that this was my sole motivation in this project, and I wouldn't be too happy if you ate it on my behalf. I'd rather offer a prize (a chocolate orange, that can be picked up at DaveP) for the first navlist member who share her/his homemade globe. Yours definitley seems almost finished, so please accept my congratulations on winning the award! :-D

    Replying to Frank' questions:

    Thank you for testing and draw my attention on the buggy installer, now it is fixed, and the program should run correctly (at least on Win10).

    I added a new input parameter: --inside-out, so a "from the Earth" view van be printed too.

    The number of gores can be changed with the --gores N parameter between 6 and 24, but changing it from the default 12 may mess the placement of the star numbers. Watching old globe making videos on youtube the 12 gores/globe seems to be a usual number, I optimized for it.

    Polar caps are by default, but they can be switched off with the --no-top parameter.

    Tibor
