Talk:Snub 24-cell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That wasn't an error. 0:1:φ:φ² is equivalent to 0:φ^-1:1:φ. If you prefer the latter, you should also change the edge length to 2/φ (which I find inelegant which is why I used the first form of the coordinates). —Tamfang 16:35, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

It's not my place to revert it to my own version, but ... Is the ambiguous term "snub octahedron" really necessary when the sentence expressly mentions the octahedron? —Tamfang 16:39, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] projection

Whatever the green figure is, it certainly isn't a stereographic projection, which would have curved edges and faces. —Tamfang 21:49, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree the terminology is unclear, and I prefer Schlegel diagram, but I would say Stereographic projection applies if the vertices are mapped spherically, while the edges are drawn linearly. Tom Ruen 23:33, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
