[GRASS-user] Making a physical globe: paper sections from GRASS GIS ?

Hi all,

to create an old-fashioned "hands-on" globe, I want to use GRASS to generate the cut-out paper sections to be glued on the globe. Are there any projects known which deal with this ? Any advice would be appreciated.

Your request triggered a memory relating to something similar using Hugin, the panorama stitcher.
Here is a link, but not sure if it is really helpful.

Not related to GRASS but related to the paper part:

Hello Peter,
some time ago I wrote for kids a tiny program that produces a
ready-to-cut-and-glue pattern from an equirectangular 3d panoramic
image :

Your personal equirectangular image of the world (whith a width/height
ratio of 2) should be easy to output from a Plate Caree GRASS location
(epsg:9823)... mmmh, just check it is actually a cylindrical projection
leaning upon a spherical ellipsoid, but I think it is.

Hope it can help you...
Bye,
Vincent
