occasionally be displayed twice, but generally it'd be displayed by one or
the other hemisphere - if one misses it, the other would get it, wouldn't it?

Or am I totally missing the problem?

Hmm... Good point; I hadn't thought of that.  But I'll have to check to be
sure (it's hard to visualize).  The way I currently have my sphere, the
joins between the segments are always drawn either twice or not at all.

If this does work, though, then the type 5 lines need to be added to the
other end of the cylinder primitives (currently there is a type 5 line on
only 1 end).  And I need to update my code to have different behavior at the
edges.
