cones -- computes all cones of a fan of a certain dimension

Synopsis

Description

cones computes the List of all Cones in F of dimension d.
i1 : F = normalFan hypercube 3

o1 = {ambient dimension => 3         }
      number of generating cones => 8
      number of rays => 6
      top dimension of the cones => 3

o2 : List

To actually see the cones of the fan we can look at their rays, for example:
i3 : apply(L,rays)

o3 = {| 0  0 |, | -1 0 |, | -1 0  |, | 1 0 |, | 1 0  |, | 0 0 |, | 1 0 |, |
      | -1 0 |  | 0  0 |  | 0  -1 |  | 0 0 |  | 0 -1 |  | 1 0 |  | 0 1 |  |
      | 0  1 |  | 0  1 |  | 0  0  |  | 0 1 |  | 0 0  |  | 0 1 |  | 0 0 |  |
     ------------------------------------------------------------------------
     -1 0 |, | 0  0  |, | -1 0  |, | 0 0  |, | 1 0  |}
     0  1 |  | -1 0  |  | 0  0  |  | 1 0  |  | 0 0  |
     0  0 |  | 0  -1 |  | 0  -1 |  | 0 -1 |  | 0 -1 |
