Clicking on a particular group will send you to a Java applet which
allows you to view a prototype object having the symmetry of the group.
By draging the mouse (holding the left button down) you can rotate the
object in any direction. If you release the left mouse button while moving
the object it continues to spin as long as you keep the mouse pointer in
the Java window (this takes a little practice). If you drag downwards with
the right mouse button you start erasing the object. The first to go are
the coordinate axes so you can get rid of them if you would like.
All these Java applets were constructed using LiveGraphics3D and Mathematica |
