Draw a great circle of a sphere
Hi,
I want to draw the great circle of a sphere (radius R, center (0,0,0) ), between 2 given points: P1(x1, y1, z1), P2(x2, y2, z2).
Do you have any general algorithm for that?
Do you know where can I get more information about this subject?
Thank you.

I know what the great circle of a sphere is, but what do you mean by "between 2 given points"? Does it mean that the circle has to go through those 2 points? Or that the circle has to pass somewhere between those 2 points?

Hello,
I mean that the 2 given points define the great circle.
The great circle passes though those points.
Thanks.
