The icosahedron command creates a three-dimensional plot data object, which when displayed is a scaled icosahedron located at point [x,y,z]. Note that the scale factor is applied in each dimension. This command is an interface to the plots:-polyhedraplot routine.

The plot data object produced by the icosahedron command can be used in a PLOT3D data structure, or displayed using the plots:-display command.

Remaining arguments are interpreted as options, which are specified as equations of the form option = value. For more information, see plottools and plot3d/option.
