Usage

Synopsis

poly_kscope [options] [input_file]

Description

A polyhedral kaleidoscope. Read a file in OFF format and repeat it in a symmetric arrangement like a kaleidoscope.

Options

input_file
input file in OFF format, or if not given the program reads from standard input

-h
program help

-s <symm>
symmetry type. When a type contains n this must be replaced by an integer (for S this integer must be even). Principal rotational axes are vertical. Symmetry type can be:
  • Cs - mirror
  • Ci - inversion
  • Cn - cyclic rotational
  • Cnv - cyclic rotational with vertical mirror
  • Cnh - cyclic rotational with horizontal mirror
  • Dn - dihedral rotational
  • Dnv - dihedral rotational with vertical mirror
  • Dnh - dihedral rotational with horizontal mirror
  • Sn - cyclic rotational (n/2-fold) with inversion
  • T - tetrahedral rotational
  • Td - tetrahedral rotational with mirror
  • Th - tetrahedral rotational with inversion
  • O - octahedral rotational
  • Oh - octahedral rotational with mirror
  • I - icosahedral rotational
  • Ih - icosahedral rotational with mirror

-o <file>
write output to file, if this option is not used the program writes to standard output

Examples

Icosahedral arrangement of 60 cubes
   poly_kscope -s I -o tmp.off cube.off

Notes

off_trans can be used to position the polyhedron before passing it to poly_kscope
