Icosahedron
represents a regular icosahedron centered at the origin with unit edge length.
Icosahedron[l]
represents an icosahedron with edge length l.
Icosahedron[{θ,ϕ},…]
represents an icosahedron rotated by an angle θ with respect to the z axis and angle ϕ with respect to the y axis.
Icosahedron[{x,y,z},…]
represents an icosahedron centered at {x,y,z}.
Details and Options
- Icosahedron is also known as regular icosahedron.
- Icosahedron can be used as a geometric region and graphics primitive.
- Icosahedron[] is equivalent to Icosahedron[{0,0,0},1].
- Icosahedron[l] is equivalent to Icosahedron[{0,0,0},l].
- CanonicalizePolyhedron can be used to convert an icosahedron to an explicit Polyhedron object.
- Icosahedron can be used in Graphics3D.
- In graphics, the points and edge lengths can be Scaled and Dynamic expressions.
- Graphics rendering is affected by directives such as FaceForm, EdgeForm, Opacity, Texture and color.
- The following options and settings can be used in graphics:
-
VertexColors Automatic vertex colors to be interpolated VertexNormals Automatic effective vertex normals for shading VertexTextureCoordinates None coordinates for textures

FaceForm and EdgeForm can be used to specify the styles of the faces and edges:
Apply a Texture to the faces:
Assign VertexColors to vertices:
