NAME

6       polymake - convex polytopes and polyhedra
7

SYNOPSIS

9       polymake [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENTS]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This  program  provides algorithms that manipulate convex polytopes and
13       polyhedra.   When  run  without  arguments,  an  interactive  shell  is
14       started.
15

ARGUMENTS

17       --help Show a help message and exit.
18
19       --version
20              Print the version number and copyright notice, and exit.
21
22       [--script] [application::]script_file
23              Execute  the  script  stored in script_file.  If the application
24              prefix is specified, that application is loaded and  the  script
25              file is looked up in its script directory.
26
27       --script [application::]script_file arguments ...
28              Execute the script, passing the arguments in @ARGV.
29
30       --iscript [application::]script_file arguments ...
31              Execute the script, which may contain interactive commands.
32
33       'code' Interpret the string as a perl expression.
34
35       -      Read and execute commands from standard input.
36
37       file PROPERTY | METHOD [ ... ]
38              Legacy  mode  (resembling polymake <= 2.3): Read the object from
39              the data file, print the properties, or run the user methods.
40
41       --touch file [ file ... ]
42              Read the files and write them out; useful  for  converting  from
43              older polymake versions.
44

OPTIONS

46       -A application_name
47              Start  with  this application, ignoring the $default_application
48              and @start_applications settings.
49
50       -d     Produce some debug output; can be repeated to increase the debug
51              level.
52
53       -v     Verbose output; can be repeated to increase the verbosity level.
54              This is an obsolete option.  Use custom variables $Verbose::* to
55              gain more detailed control.
56
57       --reconfigure
58              Rerun the autoconfiguration sections in all rule files.
59
60       --config-path "DIR;..."
61              Import  settings  from  global  configuration files in the given
62              directories.  If the last DIR in the list starts with ~/, use it
63              instead  of  ~/.polymake  to  keep  the  private  settings.  The
64              default is "user", using only the private configuration  located
65              at $POLYMAKE_USER_DIR or ~/.polymake.
66
67       --no-config
68              Equivalent  to --config-path=none.  Don't read any configuration
69              files.  Don't try to configure rules automatically.  Don't  load
70              rule files requiring auto-configuration.
71
72       --ignore-config
73              Equivalent  to  --config-path=ignore.  Don't read any configura‐
74              tion files.  Skip auto-configuration routines in the rule files.
75
76       -n     Dry run mode: show the production rules that would be applied to
77              the object, but don't actually run any.  This is only applicable
78              in compatibility mode.
79
80       -T sec Set a time limit for the execution of  production  rules.   This
81              option currently has no effect.
