Weld two owls together, windtip on one to a point you choose with 'm' on the other. The result of the welding gives a triangulation of the sphere; this is packed and displayed, with the 'eyes' of the two owls and the welding seem showing. Here's your friendly owl, with a wingtip marked. act 0;infile_read Owl.p;color -c 20 21 22;color -c 209 54;disp -w -c -cf 21 22 54;infile_read -p1 lwO.p;color -p1 -c 20 21 22;disp -p1 -w -c -cf 21 22 Use the cursor and 'm' to choose a yellow boundary vertex on pack p1. set_vlist -p1 z #XY;mark -p1 -cw -c vlist;set_vlist -p1 {c:(m).and.(b)};disp -p1 -cf vlist;set_Vlist 54 vlist;color -p1 -c 209 Vlist[1];disp -p0 -w -c -cf 21 22 54;disp -p1 -w -c -cf 21 22 Vlist[1]; Type 'w' to carry out the welding.
