hirzebruch -- computes the fan of the r-th Hirzebruch surface

Synopsis

Description

The r-th Hirzebruch surface is the Fan in QQ^2 generated by the cones <e_1,e_2>, <e_1,-e_2>, <-e_1+r*e_2,-e_2> and <-e_1+r*e_2,e_2>.
i1 : F = hirzebruch 3

o1 = {ambient dimension => 2         }
      number of generating cones => 4
      number of rays => 4
      top dimension of the cones => 2
