| Keywords: Pentagram-phi-mathematically-correct.svg Pentagram2 png as the pentagram depicted in that PNG file is not all that accurate or symmetrical; additionally SVG files have infinite resolution The pentagram and the colored lines indicating phi ratios depicted in this SVG file are very accurate to eight decimal places with correct rounding as I used PARI/GP to calculate the measurements The pentagram in this SVG file is centered at its circumradius within the viewport Also the colors of the colored lines indicating phi ratios are in a logical order within this SVG file whereas they were out of order in the PNG starting with red for the longest line then green for the next shorter line then blue then wrapping around the color band with magenta for the shortest line and the lines are stacked atop each other in that order Lastly this SVG file does not include superfluous colored lines as with the PNG file as all point-to-point line lengths including points at intersections are contained by picking any one of the five golden gnomons contained in the pentagram Whereas the PNG file not only contained superfluous colored lines i e two green lines in it but it failed to illustrate a golden gnomon via colored lines It is intended that this economy in use of colored lines by restricting them to only one golden gnomon will better help to illustrate the elegant geometrical and mathematical nature of the pentagram And so you have it Further this file is intended to replace Pentagram-phi svg of which said file used to be identical to this file yet modifications made to Pentagram-phi svg by QWerk are mathematically incorrect e g where the blue becomes magenta is in the wrong place Own Jamiemichelle 2006-11-11 Released in the public domain Golden ratio in pentagrams | ||||
