Conway operators #8

Open pearswj opened 11 years ago

pearswj commented 11 years ago

Implement a whole bunch of mesh operators, as defined by John Conway.

Get Dual, Ambo and Kis done first -- many others can be derived from combinations of these three.

A (by no means exhaustive) list:

[x] Dual
[x] Ambo
[x] Kis
[x] Join
[ ] Truncate
[ ] Bitruncate
[x] Expand
[x] Ortho

These operators will be used along with lacing patterns #9 to create space-trusses.

Expand, ortho, etc. could be Grasshopper clusters... (distributed as *.ghuser files).
