Acronym n/d-ap
TOCID symbol (n/d)Q; if d>n/2 also: (n/(n-d))R = (n/d)Q
Name n/d-antiprism,
n-antiprism with winding number d
(for d>n/2 also: n/(n-d)-retroprism,
retrograde n/(n-d)-antiprism)

Circumradius sqrt[(3-2 cos(π d/n))/(8-8 cos(π d/n))]
Height sqrt[(1+2 cos(π d/n))/(2+2 cos(π d/n))]
esp.: d<2n/3
Coordinates (cos(k π d/n)/[2 sin(π d/n)], sin(k π d/n)/[2 sin(π d/n)], (-1)k h/2)   all k integral
where h is the height given above
Vertex figure [33,n/d]
General of army if d=1:   is itself convex
if gcd(n,d)=1 and d odd:   use d=1 for its general
if gcd(n,d)=1 and d even: general is an n-prism instead
Colonel of regiment if d<n/2 it is itself locally convex
Face vector 2n, 4n, 2n+2
