Source for the vertex configurations is available in three forms, powerflip, POV, and our own .tet format, each in its own gzipped tar file. Each tar file contains a directory with 174 files named config000-config173, which are the vertex configurations in the order they were produced by our search. There are also 32 symbolic links from the designations given on the previous page to the corresponding config files, and a script called 'makelinks' that will recreate them.
The POV directory also contains the file 'tilings.inc' which gives common light definitions and marks the x, y, and z axes with small red, green, and blue spheres respectively. This file is included by all the configxxx.pov files. POV is available from www.povray.org.
The tet file format consists of one line per tetrahedron. Each line is
of the form
T:x0 y0 z0:x1 y1 z1:x2 y2 z2:x3 y3 z3:Tn
where the x-y-z triplets are the coordinates of the three corners of
the tetrahedron. The last field on the line is a letter and a number
naming the type of tile and the number of the vertex at the center of
the configuration.
