Hi all,
I've got a Perl program to generate spheres and other shapes in LDRAW
format, or as crude ASCII instruction steps. I wrote this to assist in
creating my 16x16 dome out of plates.
The program is free. You will need to have beginner Perl knowledge to use it.
Basically, edit the first line of the program to get the shape you want.
There are 6 built in, and you can edit the parameters to get others
including ellipsoids.
Has someone already done this that I don't know of?
Code at http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/olsone/spheroids/spheroid.pl
(or see reply to this message where I'll post it for posterity)
Some samples at Brickshelf (wait for moderation)

Enjoy!
-Erik

| Spheroid Generator is now a web page. With just a web browser you can get instructions showing where to put plates to make a sphere, cone, or tent in any size, using plates. Kind of like Mosaic Maker. I'll be working on this more, so that it can (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.announce) !!
