Examples

>>> from compas.datastructures import Mesh
>>> mesh = Mesh.from_polyhedron(6)
>>> ambo = mesh_conway_ambo(mesh)
>>> ambo.number_of_vertices() == mesh.number_of_edges()
True
>>> ambo.number_of_edges() == 2 * mesh.number_of_edges()
True
>>> ambo.number_of_faces() == mesh.number_of_vertices() + mesh.number_of_faces()
True
