Re: Yet another 4-place Nat-Haversine Table project?

As a follow-up:
The only clean way to represent hv(θ) for θ>90° is to express it as 1 - hv(180° - θ). So the table would span from 0° to 90° with some intricate way of labeling columns. The 0 ° ≤ θ ≤ 90° values should be given with a sort of "bar-notation" and, say, four-places rounding.
If I find a way to automate this "bar-notation" with OOCalc - I'll surely make such a table.
Any hints on such automation?

PS
I'm still not convinced in usefulness of such complication!
