This package is a polyhedra database based on the poly package found on http://www.netlib.org/polyhedra/ (Original Help message), and the polyhedra definitions found on http://dmccooey.com/polyhedra/. As such, Rpolyhedra provides with the following:
Release | Usage | Development |

Through Rpolyhedraexplorer you can navigate the polyhedra database without actually installing R environment.
install.packages("Rpolyhedra")
Install the R package using the following commands on the R console:
::install_github("ropensci/Rpolyhedra", build_opts = NULL) devtools
library(Rpolyhedra)
# if want to switch to fullDB in user filespace, it will ask you for downloading the full database to your home directory
switchToFullDatabase()
To get started execute the following commands:

Includes 142 polyhedra definitions. The PHD format was created to describe the geometric polyhedron definitions derived mathematically by Andrew Hume and by the Kaleido program of Zvi Har’El.
PHD files were generated using poly2 library (no longer maintained). Although the code is available, specific programming skills are required to run it.
PHD files can be found in
extdata/www.netlib.org/polyhedra/index.html
Includes 767 polyhedra definitions. The polyhedra database built by David Mccooey has an open format which has been scraped to feed Rpolyhedra database
