STELLATE(1)

💖 stellate(1) — polyhedron stellations 💖

okay so this is stellate, it lives in the User Commands section of the manual, and bestie, it does exactly one iconic thing: it stellates a polyhedron ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

stellate — polyhedron stellations. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

stellate [options] [input_file]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Stellate a polyhedron. slay. that's literally the entire job description and she does it well 👑

✨ Options ✨

• -h, --help — shows this help message 💖 (and if you want general help, go run off_util -H help, iykyk)
• --version — version information, for when you need to know exactly which era of stellate you're living in ⭐
• -l <lim> — the minimum distance for unique vertex locations, given as a negative exponent (default: 12, which gives you 1e-12) 🎀
• -o <file> — write output to file (default: write to standard output) 🌈

🧚 Program Options 🧚

• -f <fnos> — face number of the input file for the stellation diagram (default: 0). after that number comes the face numbers of the stellation diagram for the stellation model, separated by commas. use multiple -n parameters as needed 🦋
• -s <sym> — symmetry subgroup, in Schoenflies notation ✨
• -M — do not merge stellation facelets 🙈
• -I — do not remove inline vertices (only matters if not -M) 💀
• -S — do not split pinched faces (only matters if not -M) 🫶
• -R — resolve stellation facelets 🔥
• -D — remove multiple occurrences (this one also sets -R, package deal 🎁)
• -r — rebuild the compound model so the vertices are separate 💜

🌟 Scene Options 🌟

• -O <args> — output: s for stellation, d for diagram, i for input model (default: s). the possible args are:

D - diagram faces used highlighted
R - resolved faces used for stellation
S - expanded for symmetry
F - highlight used faces only (when using D, S or R)

• -z — move the first diagram to face front, i.e. out of symmetry alignment 🌀
• -w <int> — width to project the stellation diagram (default: 500) 📏

🎀 Coloring Options 🎀

quick heads up: run off_util -H color for help on color formats 💖

keyword: none — sets no color, literally nothing, ghost mode 👻

• -F <col> — color the faces according to (default: q):
  • a color value — apply it to all faces 🎨
  • k — sets of faces connected by face edges (compounds)
  • s — symmetric colouring, written as [,sub_group,conj_type]
  • q — from the stellation diagram
  • h — face/face connection count (heads up: the model gets altered with kis when you do this 👀)
• -E <col> — color the edges according to (default: invisible):
  • a color value — apply it to all edges 🖍️
  • f — color with the average adjacent face color
  • q — from the stellation diagram
  • n — colour by the number of faces connected to each edge
• -V <col> — color the vertices according to (default: invisible):
  • a color value — apply it to all vertices ✨
  • e — color with the average adjacent edge color
  • f — color with the average adjacent face color
  • q — from the stellation diagram
  • n — color by order of vertex
• -T <t,e> — transparency, from 0 (invisible) to 255 (opaque). the element can be any or all of: v for vertices, e for edges, f for faces, a for all (default: f) 🫧
• -m <maps> — a comma separated list of color maps used to transform color indexes (default: compound). a part consisting of letters from v, e, f selects the element types to apply the map list to (default 'vef'). use the map name index to output index numbers 🔢

and the compound map itself is:

yellow,red,darkgreen,blue,magenta,cyan,darkorange1

look at that palette. no cap, it ate 💅🌈

fr fr, info stellate is where the full lore lives, so go read it if you want the deep cut 🧚
