I have been messing with polyhedra, and wanted a single place to refer to the developments, tools, etc. A wikiproject may be overkill, but contributions are welcomed.

Images

List page

Wikipedia:List of images/Mathematics/Polyhedra is a list of GPL/GFDL images

Johnson solids

Talk:Johnson solid tracks my progress creating images for the Johnson solid pages. I will probably shift that list here.

Code

Povray

• Original by Cyp: Poly.pov
• Modifications by me User:AndrewKepert/poly.pov (maybe my latest version)

C

Cyp has written some C code for doing polyhedral nets: Makepolys.c

Templatisation

• Reference: Wikipedia:Infobox templates and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template
• Polyhedra templates: Template:Infobox Polyhedron and Template:Infobox Polyhedron with net are to make life easier when creating the polyhedron pages.
• Examples: Current use
  • Template:Infobox Polyhedron is used in
    • Hebesphenomegacorona
  • Template:Infobox Polyhedron with net is used in
    • Cuboctahedron
    • Pentagonal pyramid
• Documentation: I will document their use once I settle on appropriate parameters.

Other stuff

• Todo: Net (polyhedron) is a page that needs writing DONE
• Other stuff as I think of it.

Extracts of previously scattered discussions

I may copy and paste fragments of the scattered conversation between Cyp and myself where it is useful to document what is going on. Todo
