Talk:Wythoff symbol

I've got a fairly good start on this article, finally figured out the general triangle domains enough to write it up. Not sure how to nicely mix them, since all the convex solution are right triangles and I'm still looking into the nonconvex polyhedra with rational ratios for mirrors.

Any help is appreciated! Tom Ruen 01:09, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I find myself using this article to collect all the Wythoff constructions, as I gather images. At some point I'll probably move a full summary table elsewhere. Bear with me! Tom Ruen 04:09, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Special Wythoff symbol examples:p q (r s) | = p.q.-p.-q verf.
Special Wythoff symbol examples:
p q (r s) | = p.q.-p.-q verf.
On inspecting the nonconvex Uniform polyhedra, I discovered seven of them in the form "p q r |" which did not follow the expected pattern. I found the original 1954 paper gave a vertical notation of two numbers for the last symbol. I changed the database to match this, and added an entry here. I remapped this notationn as "p q (r s) |" for a single-line notation. Here's a graphic of the examples. Tom Ruen 07:17, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
