Usage: symmetro [options] Symmetrohedra and Twisters are created by placing equilateral polygons centered on the symmetry axes of Icosahedral, Octahedral, Tetrahedral, or Dihedral symmetry. The sides of the polygons will be a multiple number of the axis reflection number. Axes are numbered as 0, 1 and 2 It is possible to generate models such that the polygons intersect. If a collision is detected, convex hull will be suppressed options -k, -t, -s and -c cannot be used together but one needs to be specified Options -h,--help this help message (run 'off_util -H help' for general help) --version version information -k <s,l,m,n,a> Kaplan-Hart notation. Generate Symmetrohedra based on a study by Craig S. Kaplan and George W. Hart (http://www.georgehart.com).

Separated by commas, one multiplier must be * or 0, the other two are positive integers a: face rotation type: vertex=1, edge=0 (default: 1) example: -k i,2,*,4,e -t <s[p,q]i,m1,m2> Twister notation.
