Any references to how to generate tetra-dodeca-hexa--hedrons will be mightilly appreciated. Thank you. hentsche@sserss0, FIU, Miami, Florida. .

Thank you. >hentsche@sserss0, FIU, Miami, Florida. Netlib has a polyhedron data base. Send mail to netlib@ornl.gov with a subject or message body of "send index from polyhedra" for more infor- mation. There are about 140 polyhedra available. A man page describing the file format is also available. -- David J.

While we are on the subject, does anyone know where a set of points exists that defines the famous teapot?

The article is called Displays on Display / The origins of the teapot by Frank Crow, Xerox PARC. It has the Bezier patch definition, the data vertices and some Pascal code to display the wireframe. There's a little box in the article that says contact Chip Hatfield at HATFIELD@LL-ICDC.ARPA for code/data. I have no ideas if its still out there. Good Luck.
