isReflexive -- checks if a Polytope is reflexive

Synopsis

Description

A lattice polytope P in the QQ space of a lattice $M$ is reflexive if its polar polytope is also a lattice polytope. The function checks if P is compact, a lattice polytope and if the dual is a lattice polytope. 
i1 : P = convexHull matrix {{1,0,-1},{0,1,-1}}

o1 = {ambient dimension => 2           }
      dimension of lineality space => 0
      dimension of polyhedron => 2
      number of facets => 3
      number of rays => 0
      number of vertices => 3
