DESCRIPTION:
SphereDraw is a simple drawing program with a difference: it
draws on the surface of a sphere instead of on a flat plane.
By drawing shapes and moving them around, you can explore the
peculiarities of living in (positively) curved geometry.
In addition to direct drawing, SphereDraw supports copy/paste
editing, arbitrary selections, saving/restoring from files,
and moving both drawing elements and the sphere itself.
HISTORY:
SphereDraw was written over a weekend during the Regional
Geometry Institute in Park City, Utah, for use as an
educational tool.
COMPATABILITY:
SphereDraw was developed under NeXTSTEP 2.1 but should work
fine under 3.0.
