Thanks Jeremy - I'll try and build that feature in. Updated screenshot below. Ed

Hi Jeremy - no problem. I will keep you up to date with developments here. Now the underlying algorithm is worked out the rest should be fairly easy.

Hi Jeremy - I think I've got it. See screenshot.

In the end the algorithms looked like this:

` q1
      if (normalize(-ramc + RA) <= 90)
         r = 270 + (90 * (normalize(-ramc + RA - 360)) / dsa);
      ` q2
      if (normalize(-ramc + RA) >= 270)
         r = 270 - (90 * ((360 - normalize(-ramc + RA)) / dsa);
      ` q3
      if (normalize(-ramc + RA) > 180 && normalize(-ramc + RA) < 270)
         r = 90 + (90 * (normalize(-ramc + RA - 180)) / nsa);
      ` q4
      if (normalize(-ramc + RA) > 90 && normalize(-ramc + RA) < 180)
         r = 90 - (90 * ((180 - normalize(-ramc + RA)) / nsa));

These look different to the published versions, but I couldn't get those to work. There's a few minutes of arc difference, but the underlying data is slightly different so this is to be expected.

Best wishes. Ed

Thanks Jeremy - that's very helpful. I should be able to check that the basic data is the same with these listings. Ed

Hi again - is there a chance you could post any data listings from your software that is associated with these charts, eg. planetary longitude, declination, latitude and right ascension. It would be helpful to check that PD and your alternative software are using the same basic data.

Thanks. Ed

Hi - it would be helpful to have a couple more examples. If you add them as screenshots and I can take a look at them. Ed

Hi Jeremy - I've started looking at the domitude chart. This screen shot shows an early prototype. The positions in Q1 and Q3 seem right, but the positions for Petit in Q2 and Q4 are not correct. I'll keep looking at it. One thing that's a bit unclear to me is the logic for determining which quadrant planets are in, taking account of latitude and declination. I think once I've worked this out it should be ok. Ed

Hi everyone - Jean will release an update of the planetary speed graphic ephemeris module today:

Time-Tools-Planetary Speed Graphic Ephemeris: v.2.11. slight positional improvements on glyph positions on lifetime chart, now line, additional features including dynamic date change and extra data tables, updated help

See screenshot below.

Thanks. Ed

Hi there - thanks for the post. This does look like a bug Jean - see screenshot. Regulus is shown in Gemini. Ed
