Description

makeB'Slice allows for easy creation of equations that define linear spaces, i.e. slices. The default creates a hash table with two keys: B'NumberCoefficients and B'SectionString. When we have a multiprojective variety we can different types of slices. To make a slice we need to specify the type of slice we want followed by variable groups.
