Spherical - A Simple Editor for Spherical Drawings

Spherical

Spherical is a simple (but also simple to use) editor for spherical drawings developed by André Schulz. The current version is 0.6. Spherical is free software and published under GPL.
The program allows you to:

Draw vertices and arcs on the sphere (also arcs greater Pi),
move already placed vertices,
delete arcs and vertices,
rotate the sphere,
measure the length of the arcs,
export your drawing to eps and pdf.

Download Spherical

Spherical uses Qt 4.3 and is therefore available for multiple platfotms. I try to add more precompiled binaries in the future.

Download the source code spherical0.6_src.tar.gz
Universal Binary for Mac OS 10.5 with static linking of the Qt libraries spherical0.6_universal_macos10.5.tar.gz
Binary for Win32 systems spherical0.6_win32.tar.gz

Another program for interactive spherical drawings is called Spherical Easel. Please have a look it is very nice!
