Dual Polyhedron
The dual polytope of an n-orthotope has been variously called a rectangular n-orthoplex, rectangular n-fusil, or n-lozenge. It is constructed by 2n points located in the center of the orthotope rectangular faces. Its plane cross selections in all pairs of axes are rhombi.

Famous quotes containing the word dual:
“Thee for my recitative,
Thee in the driving storm even as now, the snow, the winter-day
declining,
Thee in thy panoply, thy measur’d dual throbbing and thy beat
convulsive,
Thy black cylindric body, golden brass and silvery steel,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
