Plotting Binary Icosahedral

[goz]

Is there any easy way to access binary icosahedral. Same way of writing icosahedron()->VISUAL, I would love to plot binary icosahedron. I have tried to run:

Code: Select all

binary_icosahedron()->VISUAL;

I have also tried:

Code: Select all

SL(2,5)->VISUAL;

None of them worked. Then, I found that I can use:

Code: Select all

regular_600_cell()->VISUAL;

, but is this the only way for binary icosahedrals?

Is there any easy way of saving the plot via script? So far I have tried these but none of them worked for me:

Code: Select all

$ico->VISUAL->output("icosahedron.png");

and

Code: Select all

$ico->VISUAL->write_to_file("icosahedron.png");

but did not work

Thank you for your helps,
Cheers,

I have no idea what the "binary icosahedron" should be; and so there is no standard polymake function for this. Please explain.

As far as saving files from a visualization is concerned, please consult our tutorial.

The group SL(2, 5) does not have a faithful 3-dimensional real representation. Thus it does not act as a group of symmetries of a 3-dimensional object such as an icosahedron.

But then, what exactly do you expect polymake to do for you?
