application: common

This artificial application gathers functionality shared by many "real" applications. While most users can probably do without looking into this you may find some useful functions here.

Objects

Core::Object

This is the common base class of all `big' objects in polymake. It is included in the online help because it provides several useful methods for scripting and interactive use.

User Methods of Core::Object

apply_rule (pattern)

Executes the specified production rule. If the object does not possess enough initial properties to provide all required rule sources, or any of its preconditions are not satisfied, an exception is raised.

Parameters

String

pattern

: either a label (see prefer) or a rule header. The rule header must exactly match the definition in the rulefile, up to white spaces around property names. If the given pattern matches headers of several rules, or the given label is associated with several rules, the rule chain with smallest total weight (including the rules supplying the source properties) is chosen.

disable_rules (pattern)

Temporarily disable production rules matching given pattern for an object. Rules are re-enabled after the complete execution of the current script or input expression in interactive mode.

Works much like the user function disable_rules but only affecting the given object.

Parameters

String

pattern

: either a label (see prefer) or a rule header. The rule header must exactly match the definition in the rulefile, up to white spaces around property names. If the given pattern matches headers of several rules, or the given label is associated with several rules, they all will be disabled regardless their precoditions, weights, or other attributes.

dont_save ()

Clears the `changed' flag in the object, so that it won't be saved in the XML file it stems from. This method is primarily designed for unit tests, but could be also useful in interactive mode if you want to revert all recent changes and reload the object from the data file.
get_schedule (request) → Core::RuleChain

Compose an optimal chain of production rules providing all requested properties. The returned RuleChain object can be applied to the original object as well as to any other object with the same initial set of properties. If no feasible rule chain exists, `undef' is returned.
To watch the rule scheduler at work, e.g. to see announcements about tried preconditions, you may temporarily increase the verbosity levels $Verbose::rules and $Verbose::scheduler.
Parameters
String request
: name of a property with optional alternatives or a property path in dotted notation. Several requests may be listed.
Returns
Core::RuleChain
list_properties ()

List all known properties.
remove($) (prop)

Remove the property prop from the object (if this operation is feasible, i.e., if prop is can be recomputed from the remaining properties).
Parameters
String prop

Core::RuleChain
A rule chain to compute properties of an object.
User Methods of Core::RuleChain

apply($) (o)

Apply the rule chain to an object.
Parameters
Core::Object o

list ()

List the properties computed by the rule chain.

- SparseIterator
  
  UNDOCUMENTED
- SparseMatrix <Element, Sym>
  A SparseMatrix is a two-dimensional associative array with row and column indices as keys; elements equal to the default value (ElementType(), which is 0 for most numerical types) are not stored, but implicitly encoded by the gaps in the key set. Each row and column is organized as an AVL-tree.
  Use dense to convert this into its dense form.
  You can create a new SparseMatrix by entering its entries row by row, as a list of SparseVectors e.g.:
  $A = new SparseMatrix<Int>(<< '.');
  (5) (1 1)
  (5) (4 2)

- SparseVector <Element>
  A SparseVector is an associative container with element indices (coordinates) as keys; elements equal to the default value (ElementType(), which is 0 for most numerical types) are not stored, but implicitly encoded by the gaps in the key set. It is based on an AVL tree.
  A SparseVector is encoded as a sequence (l) (p₁ v₁) ... (p_k v_k), where l is the length of the vector and each pair (p_i v_i) denotes an entry with value v_i at position p_i. All other entries are zero.
  Use dense to convert this into its dense form.
  You can create a new SparseVector by entering its encoding as described above, e.g.:
  $v = new SparseVector<Int>(<< '.');

- HashMap <Key, Value>
  Similar to Map. HashMaps are associative containers that contain unique key/value pairs.

  You can create a new HashMap mapping Ints to Strings by
  $myhashmap = new HashMap<Int, String>([1, "Monday"], [2, "Tuesday"]);
  On the perl side HashMaps are treated like hashrefs. You can work with a HashMap like you work with a Map (keeping in mind differences in performance and memory demand).
  Type Parameters
  Key
  type of the key values
  Value
  type of the mapped value
- HashSet <Element>
  Similar to Set. (But keep in mind differences in performance and memory demand.)

  cols () → Int
  
  Returns the number of columns.

  Returns a minor of the matrix containing the rows in r and the columns in c. You can pass All if you want all rows or columns and ~ for the complement of a set. E.g.
  $A->minor(All, ~[0]);
  will give you the minor of a matrix containing all rows and all but the 0-th column.
  Parameters

  Set c
  the columns

  squeeze_cols ()
  
  Removes empty columns. The remaining columns are renumbered without gaps.
  
  squeeze_rows ()
  
  Removes empty rows. The remaining rows are renumbered without gaps.
- Map <Key, Value>
  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.
  You can create a new Map mapping Ints to Strings by
  $mymap = new Map<Int, String>([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};

  type of the key values
  Value
  type of the mapped value

  $s1 * $s2 intersection
  $s1 - $s2 difference

  Returns
  Int

  Labels an IncidenceMatrix as symmetric.
Visualization
UNDOCUMENTED
- 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.
- HSV
  
  A color described as a Hue-Saturation-Value triple. Is convertible to and from an RGB representation.
- 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 list of three floating-point values from the range 0..1, or one of symbolic names listed in the system-wide file rgb.txt.
