reconstructSlackMatrix -- a list of facet labels that make up a flag in a polytope

Synopsis

Description

Given a (column) reduced slack matrix S, a flag of columns and a list of facet columns F to refill, it extends S by the columns of F.

i1 : V = {{0,0,0},{0,0,1},{1,0,0},{1,0,1},{0,1,0},{0,1,1}};
i2 : S = slackMatrix V;

Order of vertices is 
{{0, 0, 0}, {1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1}, {1, 0, 1}, {0, 1, 1}}
