Introduction

Dymaxion is a Unit Geometry Library written in Python, with a focus on polyhedra, specifically Platonic solids, and their associated spherical functions.

Dymaxion: A Comprehensive Unit Geometry Library in Python Welcome to Dymaxion, a specialized Python library dedicated to the exploration and understanding of polyhedra, with an emphasis on the fascinating realm of Platonic solids. The name Dymaxion, inspired by the inventive spirit of Buckminster Fuller, reflects our commitment to bringing a new level of clarity and accessibility to the world of geometric shapes and forms.

Dymaxion is designed to serve as a comprehensive resource for students, educators, researchers, and enthusiasts in fields as diverse as mathematics, physics, computer graphics, and architecture. We provide a wide range of functionalities, including the generation of Platonic solids, manipulation of polyhedra properties, calculations of key geometric metrics, and implementation of various spherical functions.

Our goal is to make complex geometrical concepts more approachable and to foster an environment where users can experiment with, learn from, and be inspired by the innate beauty and symmetry of Platonic solids. Dymaxion is more than just a library; it is a tool to transform the abstract world of geometry into a tangible and interactive experience.

Whether you're a student tackling geometry for the first time, a researcher investigating the properties of geometric shapes, or a designer looking to incorporate complex forms into your work, Dymaxion is the resource you've been searching for. We invite you to delve into the universe of polyhedra with us and discover the power and versatility of Dymaxion.

Authors

Dymaxion is an open-source project by Geoid.

Geoid is a spatial operating system that covers our entire planet with an extended intelligent dimension. This self-organizing network bridges our virtual and physical environments and is formed by all the people of our planet and the information and communication technologies that connect them. Geoid functions as a nervous system that mediates the data we produce and use in our daily lives, adds value to interconnectivity and cherishes spontaneous connections between people and the places and things they love.
