Parameters

 gon - the name of the polyhedron to be created o - point r - positive number

Description

 • The functions are to define the reciprocal polyhedra of the thirteen Archimedean solids where o is the center of the polyhedron, and r the mid-radius.
 • To access the information relating to these particular type of polyhedra, use the following function calls:

 center(gon) returns the center of gon. faces(gon) returns the faces of gon, each face is represented as a list of coordinates of its vertices. form(gon) returns the form of gon. radius(gon) returns the mid-radius of gon. schlafli(gon) returns the Schlafli symbol of gon. vertices(gon) returns the coordinates of vertices of gon.

Examples

 > $\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{geom3d}\right):$

Define a trapezoidal icositetrahedron with center (1,2,3), radius of the mid-sphere 3

 > $\mathrm{HexakisIcosahedron}\left(t,\mathrm{point}\left(o,1,2,3\right),3\right)$
 ${t}$ (1)

Access information relating to the tetrahedron t:

 > $\mathrm{coordinates}\left(\mathrm{center}\left(t\right)\right)$
 $\left[{1}{,}{2}{,}{3}\right]$ (2)
 > $\mathrm{form}\left(t\right)$
 ${\mathrm{HexakisIcosahedron3d}}$ (3)
 > $\mathrm{radius}\left(t\right)$
 ${3}$ (4)
 > $\mathrm{schlafli}\left(t\right)$
 ${\mathrm{dual}}{}\left({\mathrm{_t}}{}\left(\left[\left[{3}\right]{,}\left[{5}\right]\right]\right)\right)$ (5)
