POLY(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual POLY(7) NAME polypic, polypr - database of polyhedra SYNOPSIS polypic [ -phfis ] solid ... polypr [ -cfhnpsifile ] solid ... DESCRIPTION Polypic outputs a picture of the planar nets for the specified solids in plot(5) format. The options are: -f Print the face numbers. -h Print the hinge numbers. -ifile Use file instead of the normal database. -s Produce an orthogonal view of the 3D solid rather than the net. -p Produce pic(1) output. Polypr gives more general access to the data. By default, all the data is output. If no solid is specified, all the solids in the database are output. The options are: -n Print only the database index number and the name. -h Print only a header line with name and number of faces and hinges. -f Print only the data for the flat net. -s Print only the data for the 3D solid. -ifile Use file instead of the normal database. -c Produce output for Tom Duff's polygon renderer (implies -s). -p Produce useful parameters for a perspective view; implies -c. For both polypic and polypr, the solid may be specified by either its index number or by any prefix of the name. Ambiguities are resolved by database order. FILES SEE ALSO plot(1), poly(5) A. G.
