positional arguments:
  polygon_fraction      number of sides of the base polygon (N), or a fraction
                        for star polygons (N/D) (default: 6)

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p PYRAMIDHEIGHT, --pyramidHeight PYRAMIDHEIGHT
                        height of pyramid (default: 1)
  -m {d,e,D,E}, --model {d,e,D,E}
                        embed dipyramid in cube faces(d), edges(e),
                        alternative view: faces(D), edges(E) (default: d)
  -D DIPYRAMIDCOLOR, --dipyramidColor DIPYRAMIDCOLOR
                        an X11 color name (default: red)
  -C CUBECOLOR, --cubeColor CUBECOLOR
                        an X11 color name (default: yellow)
  -E EDGECOLOR, --edgeColor EDGECOLOR
                        an X11 color name (default: lightgray)
  -V VERTEXCOLOR, --vertexColor VERTEXCOLOR
                        an X11 color name (default: gold)
  -v, --verbose         output calculated values
