rays -- displays all rays of a Cone, a Fan, or a Polyhedron

Synopsis

Description

rays returns the rays of the input as the columns of the matrix R.

i1 : P = convexHull(matrix {{1,-1,2,-2},{1,1,2,2}}, matrix {{0},{1}})

o1 = {ambient dimension => 2           }
      dimension of lineality space => 0
      dimension of polyhedron => 2
      number of facets => 5
      number of rays => 1
      number of vertices => 4
