New Features in Release 2.12
Release date: March 19, 2012.
Release 2.12 is now available on the Downloads page. Here are the most important new features:
- new client for integer hull computation
- interface to Sketch 3D/TikZ
- handling of fans with non-trivial lineality space
- unification of template parameters
- multitude of minor editions and bugfixes
Integer hull computation
Two scripts simplify the computation of the convex hull of the lattice (integer) points in a polyhedron. The script will be described in more detail in the tutorial polymake and Optimization.
Interface to Sketch 3D/TikZ
Fans with non-trivial lineality space
Minor improvements in the application fan include the possibility to handle fans with non-trivial lineality space and the ability to efficiently extract individual cones from a fan.
Unification of template parameters
On the Perl side all coordinate based big object types (such as Polytope
, Cone
, Fan
) as well as the related small object types (such as Vector
, Matrix
) now have Rational
as the default template parameter. It may thus be omitted.
