complex -- Make a complex.

Synopsis

Description

Make a complex from a list of faces and/or facets.

This is mostly used internally but may be occasionally useful for the end user.

o1 = R

i2 : C=boundaryCyclicPolytope(3,R)

     equidimensional, simplicial, F-vector {1, 6, 12, 8, 0, 0, 0}, Euler = 1
 
i5 : C==C1

o5 = true

Caveat

If both the list of faces and facets is specified there is no consistency check.
