Chaque domaine a ses archétypes graphiques et les sphères représentent des éléments incontournables de domaines tels que la géographie ou l’astronomie. Or, en examinant de nombreuses publications, il nous est apparu que les sphères étaient souvent incorrectement dessinées, eu égard à leurs composantes comme les grands cercles et les parallèles. Cet article examine quelques techniques Metapost simples pour remédier à ces problèmes.
