4.24.1 polytopeViaPoints

Syntax:
polytopeViaPoints( intmat V )
polytopeViaPoints( intmat V, int flags )
Type:
polytope
Purpose:
polytope which is the intersection of the cone generated by the row vectors of V with the hyperplane, in which the first coordinate equals 1; flags may be 0 or 1, if flags is 1, then program assumes that each row vector of M generates a ray in the cone, if flags is 0, then program computes that information itself.
Example:
 
LIB"gfanlib.so";
// This is a polytope in R^2 generated by (0,0), (1,0), (0,1), (0,0);
intmat V[4][3]= 
1,0,0,
1,1,0,
1,0,1,
1,1,1;
polytope p=polytopeViaPoints(V);
