Reconstruction of the Stanton St Bernard 10-05-2021 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed octagon (regular 8-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the center of circle 1 and its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. | |||
4. | ![]() | Draw the ray of octagon 2 from the center to the upper righthand angular point. | |||
5. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the center of circle 3 and the upper righthand angular point of octagon 2. | |||
6. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the righthand angular point of octagon 2 and the intersection of circle 3 and line 5. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a line from the center of circle 3, perpendicular to the righthand side, above the horizontal centerline, of octagon 2, and extend this line to the right upto circle 3. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle between the intersections of line 7 with circle 3 and octagon 2. | |||
9. | ![]() | Copy circle 8 two times, to both end-points of line 4. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct a line parallel to line 4, tangent to circles 9 at the lower righthand sides. | |||
11. | ![]() | Copy circle 8 to the lower end-point of line 6. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct a line parallel to the horizontal centerline, tangent to lower circle 9 and circle 11 at the upper sides. | |||
13. | ![]() | Copy circle 8 to the center of circle 3. | |||
14. | ![]() | Construct two lines parallel to line 5, tangent to upper circle 9 and circle 13 at both sides. | |||
15. | ![]() | Copy circle 8 to the upper end-point of line 6. | |||
16. | ![]() | Construct a line parallel to line 6, tangent to circles 11 and 15 at the lower lefthand sides. | |||
17. | ![]() | Remove all redundant parts from lines 10, 12, 14, and 16, such that... | |||
18. | ![]() | ...these patterns remain. | |||
19. | ![]() | Repeat all necessary steps to copy and rotate patterns 18 seven times, with respect to the other angular points of octagon 2, as shown. | |||
20. | ![]() | Circle 1, and patterns 18 and 19, together, make up the final reconstruction. pdf-file | |||
21. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
22. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Stanton St Bernard formation of 10-05-2021. pdf-file | |||
