Hi everybody, Recently while working on the gfan interface I starting thinking about adding some other polytope-related functionality to Sage, but I am not sure how it should be organized. The classes I created in gfan (probably to be sage-2.11) are somewhat ad-hoc.
In the near future I plan on adding 3D groebner fans to the gfan interface; this is not something gfan itself can display. To do this I finally wrote some code that I have wanted for a long time: a direct interface to cddlib to convert back and forth from vertex descriptions and "facial" descriptions (i.e. inequalities/half-planes and equalities). (Previously I would install the optional polymake package to do this, but that is massive overkill for the very limited functionality I need.) Currently my functions just spit out the relevant data as lists, but I think I should encapsulate them in some sort of Polytope class. This is not my forte so I welcome comments and suggestions. I will soon post some code on trac, but I think the design issue is somewhat independent of my particular code.
