LIBRARY:   polymake.lib    Computations with polytopes and fans,
                           interface to polymake and TOPCOM
AUTHOR:    Thomas Markwig,  email: keilen@mathematik.uni-kl.de

WARNING:
   Most procedures will not work unless polymake or topcom is installed and
   if so, they will only work with the operating system LINUX!
   For more detailed information see IMPORTANT NOTE respectively consult the
   help string of the procedures.

   The conventions used in this library for polytopes and fans, e.g. the
   length and labeling of their vertices resp. rays, differs from the conventions
   used in polymake and thus from the conventions used in the polymake
   extension polymake.so of Singular. We recommend to use the newer polymake.so
   whenever possible.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
@texinfo
   Even though this is a Singular library for computing polytopes and fans
   such as the Newton polytope or the Groebner fan of a polynomial, most of
   the hard computations are NOT done by Singular but by the program
@* - polymake by Ewgenij Gawrilow, TU Berlin and Michael Joswig, TU Darmstadt
   (see @uref{http://www.polymake.org/}),
@* respectively (only in the procedure triangulations) by the program
@* - topcom by Joerg Rambau, Universitaet Bayreuth (see
     @uref{http://www.rambau.wm.uni-bayreuth.de/TOPCOM/});
@* this library should rather be seen as an interface which allows to use a
   (very limited) number of options which polymake respectively topcom offers
   to compute with polytopes and fans and to make the results available in
   Singular for further computations;
   moreover, the user familiar with Singular does not have to learn the syntax
   of polymake or topcom, if the options offered here are sufficient for his
   purposes.
@* Note, though, that the procedures concerned with planar polygons are
   independent of both, polymake and topcom.

PURPOSE: the procedure considers the marked polytope given as the convex hull of
         the lattice points and with these lattice points as markings; it then
         computes all possible triangulations of this marked polytope
RETURN:  list, each entry corresponds to one triangulation and the ith entry is
               itself a list of integer vectors of size three, where each integer
               vector defines one triangle in the triangulation by telling which
               points of the input are the vertices of the triangle
NOTE:- the procedure calls for its computations the program points2triangs
       from the program topcom by Joerg Rambau, Universitaet Bayreuth; it
       therefore is necessary that this program is installed in order to use
       this  procedure; see http://www.rambau.wm.uni-bayreuth.de/TOPCOM/);
@*   - if you only want to have the regular triangulations the procedure should
       be called with the string 'regular' as optional argument
@*   - the procedure creates the files /tmp/triangulationsinput and
       /tmp/triangulationsoutput;
       the former is used as input for points2triangs and the latter is its
       output containing the triangulations of corresponding to points in the
       format of points2triangs; if you wish to use this for further
       computations with topcom, you have to call the procedure with the
       string 'keepfiles' as optional argument
@*   - note that an integer i in an integer vector representing a triangle
       refers to the ith lattice point, i.e. polygon[i]; this convention is
       different from TOPCOM's convention, where i would refer to the i-1st
       lattice point

                      i.e. for each entry in polygon[1], it contains a list
                      polygon[2][i], which contains the lattice points on the
