ambDim -- ambient dimension of a Polyhedron, Cone or Fan

Synopsis

Usage:

d = ambDim P

d = ambDim C

d = ambDim F
Inputs:
- P, a convex polyhedron
- C, a convex rational cone
- F, an instance of the type Fan
Outputs:
- d, an integer, , the dimension of the ambient space

Description

ambDim returns the dimension of the ambient space either of the Polyhedron P, of the Cone C or the Fan F.

i1 : P = convexHull matrix{{1,0},{0,1}}

o1 = P

o1 : Polyhedron

i2 : ambDim P

o2 = 2

Ways to use ambDim :

ambDim(PolyhedralObject)
