Reconstruction of the Chute Causeway 10-08-2013 formation | |||||
1. | Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
2. | Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular six-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing to the right. | ||||
3. | Draw the two upper rays of hexagon 2. | ||||
4. | Construct the inscribed circle of the triangle formed by the two rays 3 and the upper side of hexagon 2. | ||||
5. | Copy circle 4 to its upper intersection with the vertical centerline. | ||||
6. | Draw two lines from the center of circle 1 to the intersections of circles 4 and 5, and extend these lines upto the upper side of hexagon 2. Call the righthand intersection with this side point A and the lefthand one point B. | ||||
7. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through A. | ||||
8. | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 7, pointing up. | ||||
9. | Draw two lines, from A to the lower lefthand, and from B to the lower righthand angular points of hexagon 8. | ||||
10. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of lines 9. | ||||
11. | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the upper righthand side of hexagon 8 and line 9, tangent to the upper side of hexagon 2. | ||||
12. | Copy circle 11 to the intersection of lines 9. | ||||
13. | Draw the connecting line between the leftmost intersections of circle 7 and the lefthand sides of hexagon 2. | ||||
14. | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of line 13 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 7 at the near side. | ||||
15. | Copy circle 14 to the center of circle 12. | ||||
16. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 15 at the lower side. | ||||
17. | Remove all redundant parts from lines 6 and 9, and from circles 10, 12 and 16, such that the shown pattern remains. | ||||
18. | Copy this pattern (repeat all necessary steps) five times, from the top of hexagon 8 to the other angular points, while rotating around the center. | ||||
19. | Circle 1, and patterns 17 and 18, together make up the final reconstruction. High resolution dwf-file | ||||
20. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | ||||
21. | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Chute Causeway formation of 10-08-2013. High resolution dwf-file | ||||
