Earth Day
To celebrate Earth Day, you can use PlantUML…
XEarth
XEarth is a unix utility written in 1993 by Kirk Lauritz Johnson. It has been ported to Java by Christian Treber. So it was easy to integrate it into PlantUML, even if it won’t probably help for documentation.
@startuml
xearth
@endumlRelative view from Sun
@startuml
xearth(300,300)
viewPositionType = Sun-relative
sunPosRelLat = -10
sunPosRelLong = 40
@endumlChange grid configuration
The default view is from Sun
@startuml
xearth(300,300)
gridP = true
gridDivision = 9
gridPixelDivision = 8
@endumlFixed position, without shading
@startuml
xearth(300,300)
viewPositionType = Fixed
viewPosLat = -30
viewPosLong = -30
shadeP = false
gridP = false
@endumlView from Moon and changing luminosity
@startuml
xearth(300,300)
viewPositionType = Moon
daySideBrightness = 100
nightSideBrightness = 30
terminatorDiscontinuity = 50
@endumlView set by orbit and changing luminosity
@startuml
xearth(300,300)
viewPositionType = Orbit
orbitPeriod = 1
orbitInclination = 30
daySideBrightness = 100
nightSideBrightness = 30

@endumlZooming
@startuml
xearth(300,300)
viewMagnification = 1.2
