NAMEpolyhedra - draws the 80 uniform polyhedra and their dualsSYNOPSISSYNOPSISpolyhedra [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-delay number] [-speed float] [-duration seconds] [-no-wander] [-spin XYZ] [-wireframe] [-no-titles] [-which name] [-wireframe] [-fps]DESCRIPTIONThis program renders 160 different 3D solids, and displays some information about each. A new solid is chosen every few seconds.There are 75 uniform polyhedra, plus an inifinite number of prisms and antiprisms: * Convex Uniform Polyhedra: * Platonic solids (5) * Archimedean solids (13) * Convex prisms and antiprisms (2 infinite families) * Nonconvex Uniform Polyhedra: * Kepler-Poinsot polyhedra (4) * Nonconvex uniform polyhedra (53) * Nonconvex prisms, antiprisms, and crossed antiprisms (3 infinite families) Representative samples of the prism sets brings the total to 80 solids. Including the dual of each brings the total up to 160. (To create the "dual" of a polyhedron, faces are replaced with vertices, and vertices with faces.) OPTIONS
