Detailed Description

An encapsulation of icosahedral symmetry Doctor Phil has this to say about icosahedral symmetry: "Each Platonic Solid has 2E symmetry elements.

An icosahedron has m=5, n=3, F=20 E=30=nF/2, V=12=nF/m,since vertices shared by 5 triangles It is composed of 20 triangles. E=3*20/2 A dodecahedron has m=3, n=5 F=12 E=30 V=20 It is composed of 12 pentagons. E=5*12/2; V= 5*12/3, since vertices shared by 3 pentagons"

Member Function Documentation

float IcosahedralSym::get_az_alignment_offset (  )  const [virtual]

Get the azimuth alignment offset required to ensure that orientations align correctly with symmetric axes of the icosahedron.

This offset is directly related to the way the symmetric operations are generated by get_sym. All orientations generated as a result of using the delimiters supplied by this class should by offset by this azimuth to ensure proper alignment with tetrahedral objects in EMAN2

Reimplemented from EMAN::Symmetry3D.

Definition at line 1717 of file symmetry.cpp.

Referenced by get_sym().

01717 { return 234.0; } // This offset positions a 3 fold axis on the positive x axis

virtual string EMAN::IcosahedralSym::get_desc (  )  const [inline, virtual]

Get a description.

Returns:
a clear desciption of this class

Implements EMAN::FactoryBase.

Definition at line 881 of file symmetry.h.

00881 { return "Icosahedral symmetry support"; }

virtual int EMAN::IcosahedralSym::get_max_csym (  )  const [inline, virtual]

Gets the maximum symmetry of this object.

This is used by OrientationGenerators, and is probably not something a general user would utilize.

Returns:
for icosahedral symmetry, this number is 5

Implements EMAN::Symmetry3D.

Definition at line 887 of file symmetry.h.

00887 { return 5; }// 5 is the greatest symmetry

virtual string EMAN::IcosahedralSym::get_name (  )  const [inline, virtual]

Return IcosahedralSym::NAME.

Returns:
the unique name of this class

Implements EMAN::FactoryBase.

Definition at line 876 of file symmetry.h.

References NAME.

00876 { return NAME; };

virtual int EMAN::IcosahedralSym::get_nsym (  )  const [inline, virtual]

Gets the total number of unique roational symmetry operations associated with this symmetry For icosahedral symmetry, this is 60.

Returns:
60

Implements EMAN::Symmetry3D.

Definition at line 901 of file symmetry.h.

00901 { return 60; };

Transform IcosahedralSym::get_sym ( const int  n  )  const [virtual]

This function provides access to the unique rotational symmetries of an icosahedron.

We have placed the icosahedral symmetry group with a face along the z-axis. In all, there are 60 (accessed by get_nysm) unique rotational symmetric operations for the icosahedron.

Parameters:
n the symmetric operation number.
Returns:
a transform3d containing the correct rotational symmetry operation.

Implements EMAN::Symmetry3D.
