icosphere

Creating a Class I geodesic icosahedron of unit radius through subdivision.

This MATLAB script contains options to choose two different starting regular icosahedron at different rotation angles, and two different subdivision algorithms.

Usage

[V,F] = icosphere(N); generates to matrices containing vertices V and faces F in the form of rowID in V, with each edge subdivided into N equal segments.

Use trimesh(icosphere(N));axis equal; to plot the resulting sphere.

Geodesic Notation

This script generates a ${3,5+}_{(n,0)}$ geodesic polyhedron.
