icosphere (with frequency or recursive subdivision)

Creating a Class I geodesic icosahedron of unit radius through frequency or recursive subdivision.

ICOSPHERE

Creating a Class I geodesic icosahedron of unit radius through subdivision.

This MATLAB script contains options to choose two different starting regular icosahedron at different rotation angles, and two different subdivision algorithms.

Usage

[V,F] = icosphere(N); 

generates to matrices containing vertices V and faces F in the form of rowID in V, with each edge subdivided into N equal segments.

Use

trimesh(icosphere(N));axis equal; 

to plot the resulting sphere.

Geodesic Notation

This script generates a geodesic polyhedron.
