The Platonic Solids
The diagrams below show the five Platonic solids. You can turn them
around to view them from a different angle if you like: just point to
the solid with your mouse, hold down the left button and drag. To
make the solid spin continuously, release the mouse button whilst
still moving the mouse (a sort of "throwing" motion). To zoom in and
out, hold down the shift key on the keyboard and then drag with the
mouse.
