Studying Wythoff and Zometool Constructions using Maple

Computational Geometry 2021-04-05 v1

Abstract

We describe a Maple package that serves at least four purposes. First, one can use it to compute whether or not a given polyhedral structure is Zometool constructible. Second, one can use it to manipulate Zometool objects, for example to determine how to best build a given structure. Third, the package allows for an easy computation of the polytopes obtained by the kaleiodoscopic construction called the Wythoff construction. This feature provides a source of multiple examples. Fourth, the package allows the projection on Coxeter planes
