This application deals with polyhedral fans. You can define a fan, e.g. via its RAYS
and MAXIMAL_CONES
and compute several properties like HASSE_DIAGRAM
and F_VECTOR
.

uses:
DisjointStackyFan
:
This represents a stacky fan built from the orbit of a fan F under a group G that permutes the homogeneous coordinates of F's rays. It is assumed, but currently not checked, that the interior of F does not intersect the interiors of its images.
HyperplaneArrangement
:
A hyperplane arrangement. The hyperplane arrangement is given by a matrix HYPERPLANES
whose rows are the linear equations of the hyperplanes and an optional support cone. The support cone defaults to being the whole space. Duplicate hyperplanes are ignored, as well as hyperplanes that intersect the support cone trivially. The support cone is subdivided by the hyperplanes resulting in a fan CHAMBER_DECOMPOSITION
.
PlanarNet
:
A special big object class devoted to planar unfoldings of 3-polytopes. Its main functionality is the visualization.
PolyhedralComplex
:
A polyhedral complex. The derivation from PolyhedralFan
works like the derivation of Polytope
from Cone
.
PolyhedralFan
:
A polyhedral fan. The current restriction is that each cone in the fan has to be pointed. This will be relaxed later. If a fan is specified via INPUT_RAYS
and INPUT_CONES
each input cone must list all the input rays incident. Once non-trivial linealities are allowed the following will apply: The RAYS
always lie in a linear subspace which is complementary to the LINEALITY_SPACE
.
SubdivisionOfPoints
:
The inhomogeneous variant of SubdivisionOfVectors
, similar to the derivation of PointConfiguration
from VectorConfiguration
.
SubdivisionOfVectors
:
A subdivision of vectors, in contrast to PolyhedralFan
this allows cells with interior points. Similar to the distinction between Cone
and VectorConfiguration
.
Visual::PlanarNet
:
Visualization of a 3-polytope as a planar net.
Visual::PolyhedralFan
:
Visualization of a polyhedral fan as a graph

chamber_decomposition_brute_force
This function computes the CHAMBER_DECOMPOSITION

stacky_fundamental_domain(DisjointStackyFan F)
Find a fundamental domain for a cone modulo the action of a symmetry group. The fundamental domain will be a subcomplex, with connected DUAL_GRAPH, of the first barycentric subdivision that is found via a breadth-first search.
stacky_le_fan(Cone C)
Calculate the stacky, locally embedded fan associated to a Cone and a group acting on homogeneous coordinates. This function turns the input Cone C into a PolyhedralFan PF, calculates the orbit_fan OF of PF, and packages the data in OF into the data for a DisjointStackyFan. No additional computation is executed at this point. The terminology 'locally embedded' references the fact that each constituent cone comes with a local embedding into the ambient space of the original Cone, but the faces of the constituent cones may intersect in complicated ways due to the identifications induced by the group action.
Cone

The stacky fan defined by this cone identifies the rays 0 and 1. The property STACKY_FACES records the orbits under the group action:
> $sf = stacky_le_fan($c); > print $sf->STACKY_FACES; {{{0} {1}} {{2}}} {{{0 1}} {{0 2} {1 2}}}
> print $sf->STACKY_F_VECTOR; 2 2
