Truncation (geometry) - Uniform Polyhedron and Tiling Examples

Uniform Polyhedron and Tiling Examples

This table shows the truncation progression between the regular forms, with the rectified forms (full truncation) in the center. Comparable faces are colored red and yellow to show the continuum in the sequences.

Famous quotes containing the words uniform and/or examples:

“Thus for each blunt-faced ignorant one
The great grey rigid uniform combined
Safety with virtue of the sun.
Thus concepts linked like chainmail in the mind.”
—Thom Gunn (b. 1929)

“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
