This is all I have up so far, there will of course eventually be
explanations of a bunch of stuff regarding stellated polyhedra.  This
page is not a part of the rest of my site right now.

Be forewarned the images are PNG in case your browser doesn't support
them...

The table was generated with POV! :)  I reordered the stellations by
cells.  If you right click you'll notice the image names don't match the
number in the list, they go by
http://www.mathconsult.ch/showroom/icosahedra/list-graph.html (which is
by circumradius but so is mine; several groups have the same
circumradius).

I could probably put more info up on each one, like volume, surface
area, and circumradius... the latter two would be quite easy...

Pretty cool... The green and white pics in the "Plane Map" column would be
about 1/3 the file size as 64 color gifs, but I know you intended to use
png's for a reason... (Because of that dumb licensing thing, maybe?)

Sure, if you'll send 'em to me in a zip file, I'll send 'em back as .gifs -
easy cheesy! Your web page will load quite a bit faster.

What a pity that there are three web-standards for paintings,
but none for drawings.

I take it by that you mean there should be large support for metafiles
on the 'net?  Absolutely.
