kcycle - kaleidocycle rings of polyhedron

Usage    |    Examples    |    Notes

Usage



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)

Examples

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


Notes

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
