Just because I hope that someone may have done this already: does anyone have metapost code to draw the "Platonic solids" (I hope the attachment comes through). All best Thomas

Thanks, Otared! It took me a while to find out how to navigate the site, but this really looks like it has exactly what I need! Thanks so much! French matheux simply are the best... All best Thomas

And here's a page dedicated to the MetaPost package that's used for those polyhedra: http://melusine.eu.org/syracuse/poulecl/geometriesyr16/ Download: http://melusine.eu.org/syracuse/poulecl/geometriesyr16/distrib/geometriesyr1... Jesse Otared Kavian writes:

Just wanted to renew my thanks. I used the code from these pages to produce the slides for my lecture, and I really liked the way the polyhedra came out. I always got an error about a "redundant equation" when compiling, but the pdf looks fine. So here's the link (the image with the Platonic solids is on p. 35): http://www.uni-bonn.de/www/Philologie/Personal/Schmitz/Dateien/bilder/ 07_10_23.pdf Thanks Thomas On Oct 8, 2007, at 8:10 PM, Jesse Alama wrote:

Well yes, but this was a pretty intricate package with lots of included files, so I found it difficult to trace down which equation was causing the trouble. However, I found the resilt very nice. Best Thomas
