The data for the different categories were retrieved from different sources or made by me:
- Platonic Solids from http://dmccooey.com/polyhedra/Platonic.html by David I. McCooey
- Prisms and Antiprisms were generated by me (they are very easy to generate)
- Archimedean Solids from http://dmccooey.com/polyhedra/Archimedean.html by David I. McCooey
- Johnson Solids from http://dmccooey.com/polyhedra/Johnson.html by David I. McCooey

- Zalgaller Solids are a selection of 28 Platonic, Archimedean and Johnson Solids that can be combined with Prisms and Antiprisms to make all convex regular-faced polyhedra.

It is quite possible that some polyhedron may belong to multiple categories, for instance, the cube is both a platonic solid and the 4-prism.
A polyhedron may have been discovered multiple times by people using different generating techniques.
