Usage: sph_ring [options] num_rings num_divs
Distribute points on rings a sphere. num_rings is the number of
rings between the poles. num_divs is the number of points on each
ring, or if not given then it is as many points as will fit in each
ring at least a band's width apart.

A globe
sph_rings 12 24 | conv_hull | antiview
Stagger the rings on the globe
sph_rings -s 12 24 | conv_hull | antiview
As many points as will fit on the 12 rings
sph_rings 12 | antiview -v b
The output can be run through conv_hull to create a polyhedron.
