Dozenal Multimedia
By and large, this dozenal web site is text, sometimes
rather dense text. This page accumulates the more visual
media available on this site relating to the dozenal system.
This includes graphics
and animations, and hopefully
soon even video. It is
hoped that this multimedia material will help dozenalism
reach a wider audience.
Graphics
Dozenal Logos |
|
An interesting logo showing the shapes which work
especially well for the dozenal system. The
background shape is a unniligon (in decimal called a
dodecagon); this is followed by a hexagon, then a
quadragon (square), then a trinagon (triangle). Written
in Metapost, available here in png; other formats
available upon request. |

Suggested by the DSGB's Don
Hammond in No. 1 of The Dozenal Journal back in
1191, this logo was intended as a sort of dozenal
"coat of arms," described in heraldric terms, and
intended for embossments on buttons and the like. In
addition to shapes, this logo shows dozenal's
relationships to the primary colors. Written in
Metapost, available here in png; other formats
available upon request. |
Other Dozenal Images |
|
An image depicting a piano keyboard,
numbered in simple logic according to dozenal
numeration. Beneath the keyboard are the note letters
in our current illogical and needlessly complex
system. An excellent way of showing how simply
dozenal really is, when someone seems overwhelmed due
to being unused to it. Written in Metapost, available
here in png; other formats available upon request. |
TGM Images |
|
An image of a clock showing hours,
unciaHours, and biciaHours. An excellent way of
displaying the advantage of dozenal timekeeping.

The TGM protractor, graduated in Pis
and unciaPis. Contains inside it three trinagons
(triangles) showing the sums of the angles equal to
1;0 Pi. Duplicated from the original TGM booklet.
Written in Metapost, available here in png; other
formats available upon request. |
|
A TGM speedometer, showing in the
outside loop speeds in Vlos; the middle loop, speeds
in miles per hour; and the inner loop, speeds in
kilometers per hour. An excellent way of showing the
common comparisons of speeds between TGM and the older
decimal systems. Written in Metapost, available here
in png; other formats available upon request. |
|
A TGM weather thermometer, showing
temperatures in tregrees, degrees Celsius, and degrees
Fahrenheit on a basic weather scale. Tregrees are an
auxiliary unit based off the core TGM unit, the
Calg. Written in Metapost, available here in png;
other formats available upon request. |
|
A full TGM thermometer, showing
temperatures from absolute zero in quadquaCalg,
kilokelvin, and kiloRankine. Written in Metapost,
available here in png; other formats available upon
request. |
Other Scientific Images |

A complete, Mendeleev periodic table, available in
png and pdf. Developed from a decimal periodic table
written in LaTeX (specifically, tikZ) by Ivan Griffin,
and generously released under the LPPL. Complete with
atomic weights and the other normal information
contained on the periodic table. |
Animation

An animated demonstration of the drawing of an unquagram (called, in our
current illogical system, a dodecagram). Drawn in
Metapost, available here as animated gif or as a Flash animation produced
with swftools.
