Summary

Measuring the central angle between two points P1 and P2 on a stereographic projection using the Wulff net. A transparent sheet has been tacked in the middle of a Wulff net and the points are drawned on the transparent sheet. The transparent sheet has been rotated until both points P1 and P2 lie on the same meridian (see <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wulff_net_central_angle_1.jpg" title="File:Wulff net central angle 1.jpg">Wulff net central angle 1.jpg</a>). The angle is measured by counting the graduation along the meridian between both points (here, 2° steps: the angle is 92°).
