814: 801: 517:) and build a stellated octahedron by attaching tetrahedra to the exterior of an octahedron. Remove one of the tetrahedra. You should see a larger triangle, and there should be a smaller triangle inside it. Just like the other Kepler spiky-ball-things, the faces of the stella octangula intersect each other. That's why I'm going to call it a Kepler solid, even though it's self-dual and doesn't have any pentagrams in it. (Is it a requirement that a solid contain pentagrams in order for it to be a Kepler solid?) 84: 74: 53: 827: 176: 158: 1101:
totally transitive), then the compound will be too. But this is not generally the case, since the symmetries of the polyhedra and of the compound are not the same. It turns out to be true only for the stella octangula. So although Kepler's figure is not a "polyhedron" in its own right, it stands unique among such outcasts as being truly regular. (I have not seen this result in print, which is a shame - we cannot explain it on Knowledge until then).

discovered and named his compound. If we do accept the name, then it follows that the stella octangula can, depending on which form we are talking about, be either a polyhedron or regular but not both at the same time - a view which I find rather confusing, so I'd prefer to refer to Pacioli's figure as an "augmented octahedron" and treat it as a distinct figure.
1079:
regular polyhedron as one which is flag-transitive, so that by rotating and/or reflecting a copy and exactly superimposing it on the original, we can superimpose any flag of the copy over any flag of the original. Among the polyhedra whose faces do not self-intersect, God has provided us with five regular examples - the regular octahedron being one.
1068:. True - but not really relevant, because only MANKIND can define what the words "regular polyhedron" mean. Having estabished our chosen meaning, we turn to God and Mathematics to tell us where that takes us (I will take God and Mathematics as synonymous, without being concerned as to which, if either, takes primacy). 1683:
ask the maintainer. But he won't release the code or even offer its use for free, so that's a bad road anyway. Tom says he based the new SVG image on my monochrome hand sketch - hence incorrect proportions. I do like the idea of a 3D viewer with svg export. Any chance of open-sourcing the code? — Cheers,

The red-and-yellow images uses rod-and-ball styling which I find distracting. It can help to emphasise which edges/vertices are true and which are false, but there are more graphically simple (and hence easier for other editors to mimic) conventions that do the job just as well. The particular images

the anonymous geek editor who had an unusual insight into the geometry of this solid. Actually, I meant "greatened", not "stellated." And I'm laughing right now because one of you guys undid my edit, and I thought it was funny that you did that. I won't declare edit war on the culprit, but I'll bring
1682:
Sometimes non-convex faces can overlap, with a different face being in front of the other in different places. This occurs for example in some stellations. So a simple "this face is behind the other" algorithm will not suffice. If anybody wants a given feature in Stella badly enough they can always
1104:
Meanwhile, prior to Kepler, Pacioli had augmented the octahedron by adding pyramids to create a similar-looking polyhedron with 24 smaller triangular faces. This polyhedron is not regular, and I am uncertain whether it should truly be called a stella octangula, since it was described before Kepler
771:
Hmmmm... I apologize. You are right - the great dodecahedron has inverted pentagons, as seen in the stellation diagrams. In 2D, a stellated pentagon is a pentagram, while a stellated triangle actually doesn't exist. I'm not sure how this relates to 3D. Stellated octahedron is accurate as the first

the octahedron, but even so, Conway's terminology is not fully consistent with tradition and seems to be mainly used for naming the newer uniform star polychora. "Stellation", in Kepler's original sense, remains the accepted general term for polyhedra. (For example the great icosahedron, named by
1078:
We now turn to regularity. We first define the term "flag" to indicate a set of adjacent elements, one from each dimensionality, that is, the 3D interior or body, a 2D face, a 1D edge of that face, a 0D vertex of that edge (and, for set-theoretic reasons, the -1D "null polytope"). We now define a
851:
This is really not one of the obscurer polyhedra, since it was considered to be important by Kepler, and also by certain types of modern mysticism -- and it's in very elite company in being one of the few polyhedra to have a common name ("stella octangula") which is not derived by the usual rules
1100:
God now decrees a remarkable thing. The stella octangula is flag-transitive, while none of the other so-called regular compounds (of ten tetrahedra, five octahedra or five cubes) are. Here, Cromwell blunders. He assumes that if each polyhedron in a compound is flag-transitive (or as he calls it,
1071:
Definitions of a polyhedron (such as Coxeter's) commonly require that the boundary be a single contiguous surface. A polyhedral figure whose boundary divides into several closed parts is called a "polyhedral compound" and is no more a single polyhedron than a married couple are a single person.
1435:
I prefer the contrasting coloring of the Stella image showing the two tetrahedra, but I don't generally prefer the rods and balls (since I think a polyhedron is a geometric object that doesn't actually have rods and balls on it) and I also don't like using bitmap formats for images that can be
1450:
I agree on vector graphics, SVG, especially if they're computed rather than hand-traced from PNG, mostly since there's too many polyhedra/compounds. I support the rod/ball models (even if should be less intrusive) on the star/compounds so you can see the difference between true edges and face
1465:
In terms of visual quality I would say the red/yellow one are the better ones, there are no anti-aliasing effects and the shading is better. I agree about the rods and balls. Vector graphics would reduce quality somewhat as the subtile colour gradients are likely to be
842:...for all this. This page is a STUB. It really needs our help. Maybe if we start a search for authoritative sources on the stella octangula that would verify this information, Jimmy Wales &c. (or whoever manages the math department) would have to re-evaluate it. 1601:(the "Old SVG" above). But I traced that whole image by hand from a png. Is there any 3D software that calculates lighting shades on different faces and outputs an svg graphic? Failing that, I think we are stuck with bitmap for most of our 3D images. — Cheers, 340:
Yep - visually by surfaces its all of them, depending on intepretation! The visible differences is in the vertices. The compound has 8 vertices of the cube (as shown in image). The small triakis octahedron would have 6 more vertices at the edge-intersections.

to create a new polyhedron. Conway later described this face extension as "greatening", and in the higher-dimensional world of polychora defined aggrandizement in an analogous way (it involves two 3-spaces meeting in 4-space) that does not concern us here.

Main issue with the rod-and-ball images is if an editor wishes to create a new image of a new polyhedron. Stella can perfectly well produce more conventional styling - a hi-res version of the blue Stella Octangula, for example. — Cheers,
1366:, so get automatically transcluded to the equivalent Knowledge filenames. Hence the original gif on Knowledge was redundant. Where both versions exist, svg is the preferred format for Knowledge, hence the page update to use the svg. 1596:
For "diagram" style svg vector is better, for true "photo" lighting bitmap is necessary. I prefer diagram style, since it is easier to work across toolsets and manually tweak specific features, such as the transparencies used in

I would caution against the compound of two octahedra. The same outer hull may also be obtained by erecting eight smaller tetrahedral pyramids on a single octahedron, a figure which is not a compound but a 24-sided

It's fairly trivial, though -- a cube fits within a dodecahedron's vertices (as seen from the compound of five cubes within a dodecahedron), and the vertices of a stella octangula are the vertices of a cube...
1667:
I think most of these are orthogonal projections — even for diagram-style graphics, I prefer true perspective, like the Stella one, and if you're rolling your own code anyway it's not very hard to calculate.
435:. Therefore, because the stellated octahedron consists of eight congruent (triangular) faces and eight congruent (triangular) vertices, and because it is concave, it can be considered a Kepler-Poinsot solid. 1868:
The musical project mentions the "Stella Octangula" in it's only album, "Hawaii Part ii", on the 3rd track, titled "Black Rainbows." The symbol is also quite often used to represent the album and project.
1371:
I like the new blue image. It is a good depiction of the augmented octahedron (24 smaller faces), less satisfactory for the regular compound since it does not distinguish true and false edges/vertices.
600:
that if the restriction that a regular polytope cannot be a compound of two polytopes were removed, the stella octangula would count as one of the Kepler-Poinsot solids (or "3-spikeballs").
140: 1742:, as it originally was – especially since the regular web Google results may be partially driven by our using "stellated octahedron" as the title. Nevertheless, given the conflict, perhaps 1394:
The Stella images don't require purchase of the program for reuse or modification, only attribution as its source. The (very old and unused) blue image is nice, but pretty low resolution.

Strictly, since the figure is a compound and not an octahedron, it cannot be a "great" one or any other kind of one. It might more correctly be called a greatening
