List of uniform polyhedra by Wythoff symbol
- List of uniform polyhedra by Wythoff symbol
There are many relations among the uniform polyhedron.
Here they are grouped by the Wythoff symbol.
Key
Quasi-regular
Each edge is identical and each vertex is identical. There are two types of faceswhich appear in an alternating fashion around each vertex.The first row are "semi-regular" with 4 faces around each vertex. They have Wythoff symbol 2|p q.The second row are "ditrigonal" with 6 faces around each vertex. They have Wythoff symbol 3|p q or 3/2|p q.
Rhombic quasi-regular
Four faces around the vertex in the pattern p.q.r.q. The name rhombic stems from insertinga square in the cubeoctohedron and icodocehedron. The Wythoff symbol is of the form p q|r.
nub polyhedra
These have Wythoff symbol |p q r, and one "non-Wythoffian" construction is given |p q r s.
