Well here are some mandalas in, and good grief the math gets down to three decimal places and it's still a little wonky (as you can tell by the bit in the middle of the green one), thirteen. I think part of the problem is with anti-aliasing not quite allowing a clear line; but here is the thirteen template anyway for you all to try. It requires a bit of futzing, and it may be that one section gives better results than another; but I think it's the closest it's going to get. And here is the nine, which looks positively simple, now. They're both Photoshop documents; I hope that works for y'all.

when you select your sections, try going to select>modify>expand and adjust the pixels by one or two...

Thanks for the new templates! But for those of us who are math-impaired, can you provide the degrees of rotation for the different sections?
Thank you ever so much! I can't wait to play!
Oh, and Thalia, both of these links download the thirteen template, FYI.
Oops. Fixed that.
Well the angle of each wedge is 360 divided by 26, which comes to 13.846 degrees. So the multiples of that are 27.692, 41.538, 55.384. I guess the first one you can just flip and line up, then the next would get turned 41.538 degrees. I just kept merging and cutting and pasting until I had rough thirds, and then the last one overlaps quite a bit but that's okay.
The 9-part one is in divisions of 30 degrees, so that's a lot simpler, since Photoshop will automatically rotate on those angles if you hold the shift key down.
thanks for the fix and the math info for those whose minds shut down at this level.
blessed be!

Oops again. The nine-part (really 18) is in intervals of 20 degrees (40 when doubled) since 360 divided by 18 equals 20. Oy.
