I can't seem to figure out how to get the nifty polygons used on the surface in the solving the quintic poster. the best that i can seem to do is to rotate the rectangles 45 degrees and reduce them by half, to get a partial see-thru object: rot = Polygon[x_] :-> Polygon[1/2(x+RotateRight[x])] but what i really want is the one used on the surfaces of the solving th quintic poster. sorry if this seems obvious, but I am new at this. thanks, eric ericf at uidaho.edu
