bauer_spiral

Creates visually even spacing of n points on the surface of the sphere. Successive points will all be approximately the same distance apart.

(It's called "visually even spacing" because only the vertices of the 5 Platonic solids can be said to be truly evenly spaced around the surface of a sphere.)

Since: 2.5

Parameters

  • n : The number of points.
  • radius : The sphere radius. Default to 1.
  • rt_dir : "CT_CLK" for counterclockwise. "CLK" for clockwise. The default value is "CT_CLK".

Examples

use <bauer_spiral.scad>;
use <polyline_join.scad>;

n = 200;
radius = 20;
pts = bauer_spiral(n, radius);

for(p = pts) {
    translate(p)
        sphere(1, $fn = 24);
}

polyline_join(pts) sphere(.5);

You can use it to create Text sphere.
