+"""
+About this script:-
+This script enables the creation of a "PolySphere": an all quad sphere for use in sculpting and is intended to be used in place of a standard UVSphere, where the poles on would cause pinching and other unwanted artefacts.
+Apart from being all quads, the advantages are that the topology is distributed evenly across the surface and that they also use only around 80% of the geometry of a comparable resolution UV sphere.
+
+Usage:-
+Activate the script via the "Add-Ons" tab under the user preferences.
+The PolySphere can then be accessed via Add Mesh> PolySphere.
