Description Text {\bf What's new:} {\it October 4, 2009:} Added a generic function @TO callConvex@ taking a string with a program written in Convex syntax. {\it September 20, 2009:} Added functions @TO mPosHullFaces@ and @TO mPosHullFacesAndDuals@ to compute the face complex of a cone. They have an @TO Option@ @TO toFile@ to store the result of a computation in a file, and a function @TO readPosHullFaces@ to read the file. {\it September 10, 2009:} Added a function @TO mLatticePoints@ to compute the lattice points of polytope. {\it August 28, 2009:} The interface now uses indexed vertices. This substantially improves computation time and memory usage. {\it August 25, 2009:} Added an @TO Option@ @TO toFile@ to @TO mConvexHullFaces@ and @TO mConvexHullFacesAndDuals@ to store the result of a computation in a file, and a function @TO readConvexHullFaces@ to read the file. {\bf Overview:} The goal of this package is to provide the functions of the Maple package Convex in Macaulay 2. The Convex package is distributed by Matthias Franz under the GNU General Public License, see @HREF"http://www.math.uwo.ca/~mfranz/convex"@ for more information. ConvexInterface is work in progress and so far accesses only a fraction of the functionality provided by Convex. If you would like to help to expand this you are welcome. Note that there is a generic function @TO callConvex@ with takes a String containing a program written in the Syntax of Maple/Convex. {\bf Functions:} So far the following functions are accessible via ConvexInterface: @TO mConvexHullFaces@ -- compute the faces of a convex hull @TO mConvexHullFacesAndDuals@ -- computing the faces and their duals @TO mHomology@ -- Compute the homology of a (not necessarily simplicial) complex @TO mLatticePoints@ -- computing the lattice points of a convex hull @TO mPosHullFaces@ -- compute the faces of a positive hull @TO mPosHullFacesAndDuals@ -- computing the faces and their duals of a positive hull Other functions that may be interesting to access: dual, hilbertbasis, simplicialsubdiv, minkowskisum, newtonpolytope and also affinehull, ambientdim, arecompatible, boundary, codim, contains, containsrelint, convhull, corank, corners, crosspolytope, cube, cyclicpolytope, delaunay, dim, directsum, distance, domain, dotprod, draw, dual, edges, emptypcomplex, emptypolyhedron, emptypolytope, facefan, faces, facets, fan, flagf, flagh, fullcone, fullpolyhedron, furthestdelaunay, fvector, genhpolynomial, genhvector, hilbertbasis, homology, hplanes, hspacenos, hspaces, hvector, image, incidencematrix, incidentfacets, incidentrays, intersection, isaffine, isbounded, iscomplete, iscontained, isempty, isface, isfulldim, islinear, ispointed, ispolytopal, isquasipolytopal, isregular, issimple, issimplex, issimplicial, issimplicial1, join, lensspace, lineality, linearhull, lines, maximal, maximum, minimal, minimum, minkowskisum, modz, newtonpolytope, normalfan, pcomplex, permutahedron, plotdata, polar, poshull, posorthant, pred, preimage, projspace, proximum, randompolytope, rank, raynos, rays, readpoly, recession, regularpart, regularsubdiv, relint, simplicialsubdiv, skeleton, stdsimplex, stellarsubdiv, succ, support, surface, torsion, transversalfan, traverse, traverse2, vertexnos, vertices, volume, voronoi, wprojspace, writepoly, zerocone, zerofan {\bf Setup:} This package needs the package @TO MapleInterface@, so set this up first. Install the convex package in Maple, i.e., put the file @HREF"http://www.math.uwo.ca/~mfranz/convex/files/current/convex.m"@ into the lib directory inside your Maple program directory. You can test it in Maple by typing {\it with(convex);} Install the {\it ConvexInterface} package in M2 by typing installPackage("ConvexInterface") {\bf Additional remarks:} You can put the convex.m file in any directory which shows up when you type in Maple libname; You can change this global variable by editing the Maple init file. You can also put the convex.m file in any directory you want, as long as you tell M2 about the path. In this case the installation goes as follows: Do installPackage("MapleInterface") Edit the file init-MapleInterface.m2 in the directory .Macaulay2 in your home directory changing the line "ConvexPath" ="" to "ConvexPath" =StringWithPathToConvex where StringWithPathToConvex is a string containing the path to the directory containing the convex.m file. In Unix type systems this will be something like "/home/boehm/convex" In Windows systems use double backslashes to separate directories and the triple-slash as string delimiter. See the beginning of the source code for an example. To test whether the interface is set up properly do, e.g., callConvex("returnvalue:=convert(fvector(convhull([1,0],[0,1],[-1,0],[0,-1])),list);") which should return \{1,4,4,1\}. /// doc /// Key mConvexHullFaces (mConvexHullFaces,List) Headline Faces of a convex hull. Usage mConvexHullFaces(L) Inputs L:List of @TO Vector@s Outputs :List Description Text Returns a list of - a @TO Matrix@ A with the vertices of the convex hull of L in its rows - a list of lists with the faces of the convex hull sorted by increasing dimension. The vertices of the faces are represented by the indices of the rows of A. This uses the Convex functions convHull and faces.

Each face is a list with two elements. The first is a list of the vertices of the face, the second a list of the vertices of the dual face. The vertices of the faces are represented by the indices of the rows of A. This requires that the convex hull of L contains 0 in its interior. This uses the Convex functions convHull and faces.
