Such a sum can contain several such terms for the same variable and they need not be in any order. Any text that starts with a letter and does not contain any of +-*,(){} or whitespace can be a variable. A term in a sum can be of the form "3x", "3*x", but "x3"will be interpreted as 1 * "x3". Coefficients should not contain letters and there is no evaluation of arithmetic, i.e. "(2+4)*x" does not work (though "2x+4x" would be fine). In fact, further brackets should only be used (but are not necessary!) for single coefficienst, e.g. "(-3)*x". Warning: The parser will remove all brackets before parsing the individual sums.

Type Parameters: :: ''Element'': default: ''[[.:common#Float |Float]]'' ? derived from: : ''[[.:common#Set |Set]]'' ? Example: :: You can for example create a new ApproximateSet with two elements by: :: > $s = new ApproximateSet(1.1, 1.2, 1.200000001); ---- {{anchor:bitset:}} ? **''Bitset''** :: Container class for dense sets of integers. A special class optimized for representation of a constrained range of non-negative integer numbers. ? derived from: : ''[[.:common#Set |Set]]<[[.:common#Int |Int]]>'' ---- {{anchor:facetlist:}} ? **''FacetList''** :: A FacetList is a collection of sets of integral numbers from a closed contiguous range [0..n-1]. The contained sets usually encode facets of a simplicial complex, with set elements corresponding to vertices of a complex, therefore the name. From the structural perspective, FacetList is interchangeable with ''[[.:common#IncidenceMatrix |IncidenceMatrix]]'', but they significantly differ in supported operations and their performance. IncidenceMatrix offers fast random access to elements, while FacetList is optimized for finding, inserting, and deleting facets fulfilling certain conditions like all subsets or supersets of a given vertex set. On perl side, FacetList behaves like a sequence of [[]] without random access to facets. Facets are visited in chronological order. Each facet has a unique integral ID generated at the moment of insertion. The IDs can be obtained via call to index() of iterators created by find() methods. ? Methods of FacetList: : ? **''erase([[.:common#Set |Set]] f)''** :: Remove a facet. ? Parameters: :: ''[[.:common#Set |Set]]'' ''f'': facet to remove ? Returns: :''[[.:common#Bool |Bool]]'' ? **''eraseSubsets([[.:common#Set |Set]] s)''** :: Remove all subsets of a given set ? Parameters: :: ''[[.:common#Set |Set]]'' ''s'': filter for removal ? Returns: :''[[.:common#Int |Int]]'' ? **''eraseSupersets([[.:common#Set |Set]] s)''** :: Remove all supersets of a given set ? Parameters: :: ''[[.:common#Set |Set]]'' ''s'': filter for removal ?

Returns: :''[[.:common#Iterator |Iterator]]'' ? **''findSupersets([[.:common#Set |Set]] s)''** :: Find all supersets of a given set. ? Parameters: :: ''[[.:common#Set |Set]]'' ''s'' ? Returns: :''[[.:common#Iterator |Iterator]]'' ? **''insert([[.:common#Set |Set]] f)''** :: Add a new facet. It may be a proper subset or a proper superset of existing facets. It must not be empty or coincide with any existing facet. ? Parameters: :: ''[[.:common#Set |Set]]'' ''f'': facet to add. ? **''insertMax([[.:common#Set |Set]] f)''** :: Add a new facet if and only if there are no facets including it. If this holds, remove all facets that are included in the new one. ? Parameters: :: ''[[.:common#Set |Set]]'' ''f'': facet to add ? Returns: :''[[.:common#Bool |Bool]]'' ? **''insertMin([[.:common#Set |Set]] f)''** :: Add a new facet if and only if there are no facets included in it. If this holds, remove all facets including the new facet. ? Parameters: :: ''[[.:common#Set |Set]]'' ''f'': facet to add ?

Its interface is similar to that of ''[[.:common#Map |Map]]'', but the order of elements is not stable across polymake sessions and does not correlate with key values. Accessing and inserting a value by its key works in constant time O(1). On the perl side HashMaps are treated like hashrefs. You can work with a HashMap like you work with a ''[[.:common#Map |Map]]'' (keeping in mind differences in performance and memory demand). ? Type Parameters: :: ''Key'': type of the key values :: ''Value'': type of the mapped value ? Example: :: You can create a new HashMap mapping Ints to Strings by :: > $myhashmap = new HashMap([1, "Monday"], [2, "Tuesday"]); ? Methods of HashMap: : ? **''size()''** :: Size of the map ? Returns: :''[[.:common#Int |Int]]'' ---- {{anchor:hashset:}} ? **''HashSet''** :: An unordered set of elements based on a hash table.

Parameters: :: ''[[.:common#Int |Int]]'' ''r'': the row index :: ''[[.:common#Int |Int]]'' ''c'': the column index ? Returns: :''[[.:common#Bool |Bool]]'' ? **''minor([[.:common#Set |Set]] r, [[.:common#Set |Set]] c)''** :: Returns a __minor__ of the matrix containing the rows in //r// and the columns in //c//. You can pass [[.:common#all_rows_or_cols |All]] if you want all rows or columns and ~ for the complement of a set. ? Parameters: :: ''[[.:common#Set |Set]]'' ''r'': the rows :: ''[[.:common#Set |Set]]'' ''c'': the columns ? Returns: :''[[.:common#IncidenceMatrix |IncidenceMatrix]]'' ? Example: :: For example, :: > print polytope::cube(2)->VERTICES_IN_FACETS->minor(All, ~[0]); {1} {0 2} {0} {1 2} :: will give you the minor of a matrix containing all rows and all but the 0-th column. ? **''row([[.:common#Int |Int]] i)''** :: Returns the //i//-th row. ? Parameters: :: ''[[.:common#Int |Int]]'' ''i'' ? Returns: :''[[.:common#SparseVector |SparseVector]]<[[.:common#Int |Int]]>'' ? **''rows()''** :: Returns the number of rows. ? Returns: :''[[.:common#Int |Int]]'' ? **''squeeze''** :: Removes empty rows and columns. The remaining rows and columns are renumbered without gaps. ? **''squeeze_cols''** :: Removes empty columns. The remaining columns are renumbered without gaps. ? **''squeeze_rows''** :: Removes empty rows. The remaining rows are renumbered without gaps. ---- {{anchor:map:}} ? **''Map''** :: Maps are sorted associative containers that contain unique key/value pairs. Maps are sorted by their keys. Accessing or inserting a value needs logarithmic time O(log n), where n is the size of the map. ? Type Parameters: :: ''Key'': type of the key values :: ''Value'': type of the mapped value ? Example: :: You can create a new Map mapping Ints to Strings by :: > $mymap = new Map([1, "Monday"], [2, "Tuesday"]); :: On the perl side Maps are treated like hashrefs. You can add a new key/value pair by :: > $mymap->{3} = "Wednesday"; :: (If the key is already contained in the Map, the corresponding value is replaced by the new one.) or ask for the value of a key by :: > print $mymap->{1}; Monday ---- {{anchor:powerset:}} ? **''PowerSet''** :: A ''[[.:common#Set |Set]]'' whose elements are of type Set. ? Type Parameters: :: ''Element'': default: ''[[.:common#Int |Int]]'' ? derived from: : ''[[.:common#Set |Set]]'' ---- {{anchor:set:}} ? **''Set''** :: A type for ordered sets containing elements of type //Element//. ?

Example: :: You can for example create a new Set by: :: > $s1 = new Set(2, 3, 5, 7); > $s2 = new Set(4, 5); :: You can perform set theoretic operations: union :: > print $s1 + $s2; {2 3 4 5 7} :: intersection :: > print $s1 * $s2; {5} :: difference :: > print $s1 - $s2; {2 3 7} :: symmetric difference :: > print $s1 ^ $s2; {2 3 4 7} ? Methods of Set: : ? **''back()''** :: The last element of the set, that is, the largest element ?

A function expecting an argument or option of type //Color// can digest an object of type ''[[.:common#RGB |RGB]]'' or ''[[.:common#HSV |HSV]]'' as well as a string with an RGB value in hex notation "#RRGGBB" or a symbolic color name. ---- {{anchor:flexible:}} ? **''Flexible''** :: This is a pseudo-type for documentation purposes only. Many options of visualization functions modifying the appearance of some set of graphical elements like points, edges, facets, etc. accept a wide range of possible values, allowing for different grades of flexibility (and complexity): * SCALAR the same attribute value is applied to all elements * ARRAY each element gets its individual attribute value * HASH elements found in the hash get their individual attribute values, for the rest the appropriate default applies * SUB a piece of code computing the attribute value for the given element .. Unless specified explicitly in the detailed option description, the indices, keys, or subroutine arguments used for retrieval of the attribute values are just the zero-based ordinal numbers of the elements. ---- {{anchor:hsv:}} ? **''HSV''** :: A color described as a Hue-Saturation-Value triple. Is convertible to and from an RGB representation. ---- {{anchor:rgb:}} ? **''RGB''** :: A color described as a Red-Green-Blue triple. Can be constructed from a list of three integral values from the range 0..255, or a hex triplet with a leading # symbol, or a list of three floating-point values from the range 0..1, or a symbolic name from the X11 color names. ----
