Interactive polyhedra
Platonic's polyhedra: tetrahedron, octahedron and cube, dodecahedron,
icosahedron (drag the mouse to rotate objects)
Icosidodecahedron, truncated icosahedron, snub cuboctahedron
I used data from George W. Hart's
"Encyclopedia
of Polyhedra".
In this interactive Java 1.1 applet all polyhedron's data are stored in
html-file. Parameter "N" is the number of polyhedron's vertexes and
faces. Coordinates of vertexes are stored in "Vert" and indexed set of
all faces are stored in "faces". Different faces are separeted by
"-1".
Look at Semiconductor microstructures and
Hidden Surface Removal Algorithms
for more explanations.
