maxPolyhedra -- displays the generating Polyhedra of a PolyhedralComplex

Synopsis

Description

maxPolyhedra displays the List of generating polyhedra of the PolyhedralComplex, i.e. all Polyhedra that are not a face of one of the other Polyhedra. These are all of the same dimension if and only if the PolyhedralComplex is pure (see: isPure).
i1 : PC = skeleton(1,polyhedralComplex hypercube 2)

o1 = {ambient dimension => 2             }
      number of generating polyhedra => 4
      top dimension of the polyhedra => 1
