Synopsis

zono [options] [input_file]

Description

Make a polar zonohedron, or a zonohedron based on the vectors from an OFF file.

Options

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

-h
program help

-m <mthd>
method to create star from input, can be

-c <cent>
centre of points for method v (default: centroid)

-s
output the star (instead of the zonohedron)

-a <ang>
discard vectors within an angle of an existing vector (default: 0.01 degrees) if 0 don't discard vectors

-k
keep length of vectors (default makes them unit length)

-P <num>
polar zonohedron with given number of vectors

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

Examples

A medium sized polar zonohedron
   zono -P 50 -o polarzono.off
A rhombic triacontaahedron
   unipoly icosahedron | zono -m v -o rh_tri.off

Notes

The program is fine for polar zonohedra.

It is very incomplete zonohedra made from vectors taken from a file. It is unoptimised and can handle, at best, only a few vectors in the star.
