Knightrider, I don't know of any plans on the Internet. Here is a link to a Bowed Baywindow Roof Framing thread at JLC Forums.
As a result of the ideas kicked around in that thread this is my solution of a Bow Window using Newton's Method. If you read the thread you'll see that the both the theoretical solution and the most efficient means of writing the Javascript eluded me at first. This was a tricky one ...
One of the links in that page leads to a Bow Window: Side Length and Central Angle Calculator. There are also some links to diagrams.
This is Sim Ayers (sbebuilders) Bowed Bay Window Calculator with Equal Overhangs.
Hope this helps you out.

I tried Googling and found this Geometry ... Bay/Bow window angles and line length page.
The link posted in the answer doesn't work but I did some more digging and found the Clear Thinking Software page. There is a link to a Downloads page. (I can't test drive the bay6demo.exe ... the public computer I'm using won't allow me to download EXE file extensions).

Most of the manufacturers have good details, if you look in the architect part of their site.
