Download Orologi Solari
This is the most complete freeware program available on the web!!!
It includes the computation of the wall declination, it simulates the behaviour of the dial, it includes an optional screensaver based on the result of your design!
This application permits the design of a vertical declined / inclined / horizontal sun dial with french, italic, babilonic, twilight hours and with day lines etc., moreover it includes horizontal and vertical analemmatic dials, azimuth ortho/stereographic, monofilar, shepherd's dials, ascendant lines, ecliptic hours, azimuth and elevation lines, islamic prayer lines and more.
Graphs can be exported to PDF files for full scale printing or to DXF files for further processing with CAD programs. Raster graphics (jpg, tiff, gif, bmp...) can also be produced for dial documentation.
Simulation : you can see the position of the style shadow for any desired date and time. Balconies, roofs and near buildings can be defined and added to the simulation.
Reverse engineering : starting from the measured elements of an existing vertical declining /horizontal dial, you can obtain the original unknown parameters of the dial : latitude, wall declination, style length etc.
The user interface is in Italian, English, Czech (thanks to Jaromir Ciesla) and Portuguese (thanks to Ricardo Cernic) languages.
