Summary
editDescriptionEuro-Construction.svg |
English: A complete construction of the Euro symbol using vector graphics.
This construction also display the European colors (Blue and Gold) for the symbol. Note that this version aligns the points C and C’ with the radius lines starting from center O, and pointing to the opening mouth D-D’ of the symbol. This is possible only if the opening angle of 40° from horizontal is reduced a little to about 37° (or more precisely, the angle whose tangeant is exactly equal to 0.75; in that case, the construction is much easier and the height of the open mouth is also exactly equal to the half of the total height of the symbol, and the left half of the outer circle is divided exactly into three equal vertical bands.) This small difference is nearly invisible, and this perfection of alignments adds interesting visual effects (with the default angle of 40°, the horizontal strokes seem to be too much advanced to the right). This is also useful because it allows placing all the important control points on a regular 36×36 grid, and then to finish the complete symbol using only a simple compass (only for drawing the arcs of circles basedon this grid points) and a straight rule, without having to find an approximation for the 40° angle.
