# RationalCone -- class of rational cones

## Description

The method normaliz returns an object of type RationalCone. By default, that cone contains only the content of the output file .gen, under the key "gen" (i.e. the generators that have been computed) and the content of the output file .inv, which contains some additional data. Note that Normaliz writes the generators as rows, in contrast to the convention used in M2.

To obtain all the information written by Normaliz set the option allComputations to true. Then the method returns an object of type RationalCone whose keys are the suffixes of all the output files written, with value the content of the corresponding output file (also to be read line by line).
