Visualization of Conway Polyhedron Notation

Authors: Hidetoshi Nonaka

Abstract:

This paper presents an interactive modeling system of polyhedra using the isomorphic graphs. Especially, Conway polyhedron notation is implemented. The notation can be observed as interactive animation.

Keywords: Conway polyhedron notation, Polyhedral graph, Visualization.
