+.SH NAME
+polypic, polypr \- database of polyhedra
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B polypic
+[
+.B -phfis
+]
+.I solid ...
+.br
+.B polypr
+[
+.B -cfhnpsi\f2file
+]
+.I solid ...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Polypic
+outputs a picture of the planar nets for the specified solids in
+.IR plot (5)
+format.
+The options are:
+.TP
+.B -f
+Print the face numbers.
+.TP
+.B -h
+Print the hinge numbers.
+.TP
+.BI -i file
+Use
+.I file
+instead of the normal database.
+.TP
+.B -s
+Produce an orthogonal view of the 3D solid rather than the net.
+.TP
+.B -p
+Produce
+.IR pic (1)
+output.
+.PP
+.I Polypr
+gives more general access to the data.
+By default, all the data is output.
+If no solid is specified, all the solids in the database are output.
+The options are:
+.TP
+.B -n
+Print only the database index number and the name.
+.TP
+.B -h
+Print only a header line with name and number of faces and hinges.
+.TP
+.B -f
+Print only the data for the flat net.
+.TP
+.B -s
+Print only the data for the 3D solid.
+.TP
+.BI -i file
+Use
+.I file
+instead of the normal database.
+.TP
+.B -c
+Produce output for Tom Duff's polygon renderer (implies
+.BR -s ).
+.TP
+.B -p
+Produce useful parameters for a perspective view; implies
+.BR -c .
+.PP
+For both
+.I polypic
+and
+.IR polypr ,
+the solid may be specified by either its index number
+or by any prefix of the name.
+Ambiguities are resolved by database order.
