Reconstruction of the 2000 South Field formation |
|||||
| 1. |
| Start with drawing a circle. | |||
| 2. |
| Draw eight centerlines at mutual angles of 22.5°. | |||
| 3. |
| From the endpoints of the centerlines, draw diagonals to form a sharp 16-pointed star. | |||
| 4. |
| Draw a circle, concentric to the large one, with a radius determined by the points at which diagonals cross at right angles, as shown. | |||
| 5. |
| Draw eight circles, centered at the cross-points of the previous circle and eight "spokes" in an alternate way. These circles have common cross-points at the same circle and the other spokes in between. | |||
| 6. |
| Draw a circle, again concentric, touching the eight previous circles at the inner side. Draw 16 circles of the same size, centered at the endpoints of all spokes. | |||
| 7. |
| Draw a help line, also a "spoke", equally spaced between two existing spokes. | |||
| 8. |
| Centered at the endpoint of this help line, construct a small circle, going through the cross-points of the two neighbouring circles and the large circle of step 1. Draw an equally sized small circle at the endpoint of a spoke, concentric to a same neighbouring circle. | |||
| 9. |
| Draw two spokes up to the cross-points of the last small circle and the large circle. | |||
| 10. |
| Repeat this for all 16 circles. | |||
| 11. |
| Construct a 16-pointed star by connecting the endpoints of all spokes with every second spoke and extending these lines until they meet, as shown. | |||
| 12. |
| The outer border is a circle concentric to the one of step 1, and passing through the points of the 16-pointed star of the previous step. | |||
| 13. |
| All necessary parts have now been constructed. | |||
| 14. |
| After removing all superfluous parts, the reconstruction of the 2000 South Field formation shows up. | |||
