Octahedraon in Cube

Cube and octahedron are dual in the following sense: the centers of the faces of a cube, if joined appropriately, form an octahedron; and vice versa.

What if applet does not run?

Drag the mouse to rotate the cube. Use the right button to remove and put back individual faces.

(Acknowledgement: I have learned most of Java details from the implementation by Meiko Rachimow.)
