Notation for the Polytopes

This is a breif overview of the notations used for the polytopes. This group can be considered as one of manual constructions and variations. It assumes no underlying symmetry.

• Schlaefli's Symbol {p,q,r}
• Stott style Variations by dilations and contractions: t{p,q}
• Coxeter's Curtail for rectified figures.
• Conway's notation for operators.
• Notation of Jonathon Bowers

This group consists of pre-existing constructions based on applying constructions similar to Wythoff's construction.

• Wythoff or mirror-edge construction.

This group describe my rather extended notation.

• The pseudoregular trace
• Old Style suited for higher dimensions.
• My Short Notation
