Some Circular Designs (Page 6)
Although we began with designs in which our wedges were arranged next
to one another to exactly complete a pie, the size and spacing of
wedges need not be simply related. Consider the following figure, for
example, where each wedge forms a 40° angle at the
center of the figure, but the wedges are arranged with 45°
angles between corresponding edges (as earlier, click on a design
to see a larger image):
Segments = 10, Wedges = 8, Levels = 3, Angle = 40°
Here, we have increased the angle at the vertex of
each wedge to 50°, which produces only a small degree of
overlap of wedges:
Segments = 10, Wedges = 8, Levels = 3, Angle = 50°
In this figure, one I
particularly like for some reason, the wedge
has been increased to 80°:
Segments = 10, Wedges = 8, Levels = 3, Angle = 80°
