Description

This notebook provides a function which converts a uniform polyhedron to POV-Ray syntax, with spheres on each vertex, cylinders on each edge, and the faces subdivided into co-planar triangles, and writes all these to a file in a specified directory. A sample POV scene file is included. Needs Roman Maeder's "Uniform Polyhedra" packages (UniformPolyhedra.m and PolyhedraExamples.m, item 536) to work.
