DOMES-1.EXE

All Rights Reserved

This PROGRAM provides data for a geodesic sphere or dome.It is for 
class 1 geodesic spheres of any frequency.  Data includes chords, 
Radius, Diameter, and node locations in cartesian coordinates. 
The user is prompted to select a polyhedron type and frequency and 
a basis for sizing the sphere. information is only given for one 
typical triangle which is representative of all other triangles on 
the sphere.  DOMES-1 is fully functional with no limitations or 
expiry.
  Another program, GEODESIC, available from Littlewood Geodesic 
Domes, writes the results to a text file for printing or use in a 
spreadsheet.  It also gives coordinates fora second triangle below 
the first.  This is useful for determining the ground level diameter 
of most geodesic domes.  It is presentlybeing enhanced with chord 
angles, facet angles, and dihedrals.  These features may be of 
interest to the professional user.

geodesic, chords, domes, polyhedra

                         Suggested Description
DOMES-1 calculates chords, radius, diameter, and positions of nodes 
for any class 1 geodesic sphere of any frequency.  User can choose 
size according to Radius, Diameter, or Longest Chord.  

                              Requirements
Dos or win3.x or win95-98

                           Registration
US$10 (includes shipping) to receive disk with latest version of 
DOMES and GEODESIC  along with source code and text file of 
everything we could think of and had time to write, helpful to 
dome enthusiasts. If you use this program to build something, 
surely it's worth the price of a sheet of plywood!
