fan(PolyhedralComplex) -- Take the fan over a polyhedral complex

Synopsis

Description

The polyhedral complex is embedded at height one and the fan is taken over it.

i1 : C = hypercube 2

o1 = C

o1 : Polyhedron
i2 : F = faces(1,C)

o2 = {({0, 2}, {}), ({1, 3}, {}), ({0, 1}, {}), ({2, 3}, {})}

o2 : List
i3 : V = vertices C

o3 = | -1 1  -1 1 |
     | -1 -1 1  1 |

              2        4
o3 : Matrix QQ  <--- QQ
i4 : L = linealitySpace C

o4 = 0

              2
o4 : Matrix QQ  <--- 0
i5 : PC = polyhedralComplex(V,L,F)

o5 = PC

o5 : PolyhedralComplex
i6 : vertices PC

o6 = | -1 1  -1 1 |
     | -1 -1 1  1 |
