kcycle - kaleidocycle rings of polyhedron
Usage: kcycle [options] hinge_vertex_idxs
Make a kaleidocyle from a polyhedron. hinge_vertex_idxs is four integers
separated by commas (e.g. 0,1,2,3). These are the index numbers of the
vertices for the two eges that will be hinges in the cycle.
Options
-h,--help this help message (run 'off_util -H help' for general help)
--version version information
-a <ang> angle in degrees to rotate the first hinge from
horizontal (default: 0.0)
-n <num> number of pairs of polyhedra in cycle (default: 6)
-i <file> input file in OFF format. If '-' then read file from stdin.
(default: a tetrahedron with hinge_vertex_idxs 0,1,2,3) -o <file> write output to file (default: write to standard output)
Tetrahedron kaleidocycle rotated 40 degrees from horizontal
kcycle -a 40 > kc_tet_90.off
Ring of 16 icosahedra, each given a proper coloring, rotated 90 degrees,
and displayed in antiview
off_color -f P icosahedron | kcycle -i - -n 8 -a -90 4,9,10,11 | antiview -v 0.1
The ring has coinciding vertices. To display the vertices or edges
in antiview or off2pov their size must be set manually
using options -v or -e
