poly_kscope - polyhedral kaleidoscope
poly_kscope [options] [input_file]
A polyhedral kaleidoscope. Read a file in OFF format and repeat it
in a symmetric arrangement like a kaleidoscope.
- input_file
- input file in OFF format, or if not given the program reads from stdin

- -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 - inversive
- 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 inversive
- T - tetrahedral rotational
- Th - tetrahedral rotational with mirror
- Td - tetrahedra rotational with inversive
- 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
Icosahedral arrangement of 60 cubes
poly_kscope -s I -o tmp.off cube.off
off_trans can be used to position the polyhedron before
passing it to poly_kscope
