python - How to produce coordinates to cover a sphere with a single line? -


i in situation :

line plotting coordinates / sphere of interest

i trying produce x,y,z coordinates allow me cover sphere, in scanning way can see on red line on figure.

i using code produce coordinates : 

nsteps = 50 ntours = 3 r = 10 r = 1  theta = linspace(0, 2*pi*ntours, nsteps, endpoint = false) r0 = linspace(0, r, nsteps, endpoint = false)   x01 = (r0*cos(theta)) x02 = x01[::-1] x0 = append(x01,x02)   y01 = (r0*sin(theta)) y02 = y01[::-1]*-1 y0 = append(y01,y02)  z0 = linspace(0,10,num=100)

as can see, not perfect @ all, , have trouble programm way force coordinate production respect sphere size.

in other words, need script would, informations entered : - radius of sphere - amount of steps required - amount of revolution

produce x,y,z coordinates trace path on sphere, being on surface of it,in 3 arrays x, y z.

because of other limitations not related topic, forced use 50 - 100 steps, , can not go further. not looking cover whole surface of sphere, cover enough quite low amount of steps.

thank !

spherical coordinates rescue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/spherical_coordinate_system#cartesian_coordinates

this allows like

npoints = 100  t   = np.linspace(0,np.pi,npoints) r   = 1    = 20 phi = a*t  x = r*np.sin(t)*np.cos(phi) y = r*np.sin(t)*np.sin(phi) z = r*np.cos(t)

adjusting r radius , a for... spirality... let's call it...

powershell Start-Process exit code -1073741502 when used with Credential from a windows service environment -

i'm running strange behavior powershell start-process call. here call: $process = start-process ` "c:\somepath\mybinary.exe" ` -passthru ` -credential $defaultcredential ` -wait ` -workingdirectory "c:\somepath" ` -loaduserprofile if ($process.exitcode -ne 0) { #do } this call return exit code - 1073741502 . after quick search, exit code seems related generic error when program not load required dll (aka. status_dll_init_failed ). when run without -credential $credential program runs correctly. in order isolate problem, manually launched some.exe in prompt target credential , runs smoothly. so problem seems come way start-process cmdlet launch process. i found potential solutions problem tried apply no luck : link , link . would have idea of what's going on here ? edit 1: run proc mon monitoring program activities when launched directly or via powershell script. problem seems occur when loading kernelbase
