truncated_cuboctahedron() constructs truncated octahedron

Postby soeren » 15 Sep 2014, 14:19

Hi,
as far as I could tell the function truncated_cuboctahedron() really constructs a truncated octahedron (instead of a truncated cuboctahedron of course).
Best regards

Thank you for the report, the client is indeed wrong and will be renamed.

For the truncated cuboctahedron, you could use:

Code: Select all

wythoff("B3",range(0,2));
Note that this contains rectangles but no squares as faces as it comes from truncating a cuboctahedron and is only topologically equivalent to the truncated cuboctahedron.

Issue resolved in the master branch. Next snapshot will have this corrected both ways (old client properly renamed plus new client to produce the correct guy).
