In a word, nowhere. You'll either have to write it yourself or have it written.
I looked at the source for tetrahedron.java and it looks like someone applied
his knowledge of analytical geometry to calculate the coordinates for the 4
vertices, and then wrapped some code around the whole thing to connect
those vertices into a solid geometric object. I have no idea how many
vertices a dodecahedron has (certainly more than 12, right?) but I think the
same job may be more difficult with more points.
Someone recently sent you a file with (I think) those vertices in a format
suitable for some other program. If you're lucky, you may be able to copy
the coordinates from there into the array near the beginning of the tetrahedron
demo and get it to work. If not, you or someone else will have to figure
out how
to. I'd offer, but I'm not smart enough.
Something I do when I have a small but difficult job I'm not qualified for
is to
post it as a project request on http://www.hotdispatch.com . There are over
3000 programmers registered at that site, perhaps half of them Java
programmers.
Offer $10 or so for the solution and it's very likely someone will solve
your problem
within a day or two.
Good luck,
-Carl-
