	<li><tt>style='pyramid'</tt>: define a pyramid shape for which the first point is the apex of the pyramid and the remaining 3 or 4 points define the base. With 3 base points (4 total points), the shape is a tetrahedron; with 4 base points (5 total points), the shape is a pyramid with a quadrilaterial base. If the 4 base points are not coplanar, the base will have two face triangles connected by a line between the 1st and 3rd points.		<li><tt>style="pyramid"</tt>: define a pyramid shape for which the first point is the apex of the pyramid and the remaining 3 or 4 points define the base.

	<li><tt>style='tripts'</tt> or <tt>style='trivectors'</tt>: define a triclinic shape, which is an eight-corned box for which opposite faces are parallel, but the corners need not meet at right angles. For this style, you specify 4 points (or 12 coordinates). For <code>tripts</code>, the 4 points are the points labeled in the figure below. For <tt>trivectors</tt>, the first point is point 1 (the origin) and the remaining three points are vectors between the shape's origin that point.		<li><tt>style="tripts"</tt> or <tt>style="trivectors"</tt>: define a triclinic shape, which is an eight-corned box for which opposite faces are parallel, but the corners need not meet at right angles.
