conway-hart =========== A port of [George Hart's JavaScript implementation/extension of Conway's polyhedral notation](http://www.georgehart.com/virtual-polyhedra/conway_notation.html) to the CommonJS module system. Here are some useful links that can help explain what it all means: * George Hart's original implementation: http://www.georgehart.com/virtual-polyhedra/conway_notation.html * [The Wikipedia page on Conway's notation](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway_polyhedron_notation) Installation ============ Just use npm: npm install conway-hart Example ======= Here is an example showing how to use this library to generate a shape: require("conway-hart")("djmeD"); Which produces the following polygon:

If you want to try it out for yourself without installing node.js, [here is an interactive WebGL demo.](http://mikolalysenko.github.com/conway-hart/example/www/index.html) Usage ===== Conway/Hart notation is a way of specifying spherical polyhedra by subdividing regular polyhedra. The way it works is that you first specify a **seed** polyhedra, and then apply a sequence of **operators**. At the end, it returns a JavaScript object with 3 fields: * `name`: The name of the solid. * `cells`: The faces of the solid, represented as a list of indices into the vertices. * `positions`: The positions of the vertices of the solid. If there is an error parsing the input, an exception is thrown. Seeds ----- Here is a list of all the available seeds. The ones with an `n` next to their symbol take an extra parameter describing how many faces are on their base. ###
