Examples

>>> from compas.datastructures import Mesh
>>> mesh = Mesh.from_polyhedron(6)
>>> meta = mesh_conway_meta(mesh)
>>> meta.number_of_vertices() == mesh.number_of_vertices() + mesh.number_of_faces() + mesh.number_of_edges()
True
>>> meta.number_of_edges() == 6 * mesh.number_of_edges()
True
>>> meta.number_of_faces() == 4 * mesh.number_of_edges()
True
