Description (last modified by )
The Polyhedron class is, so far, free-standing with some sort of coercion for the base ring tacked manually. This ticket strives to add parents for polyhedra and make the base ring coercion work more naturally.
There will be 3 supported base rings:
- ZZ (meaning that the polyhedron is a lattice polytope, that is, both H- and V-representation are defined over ZZ)
- RDF

We don't have an implementation of the double description algorithm for other base rings, so we wouldn't be able to compute anything.

This is now ready for inclusion. Marshall, are you interested in reviewing this patch and its dependency? ;-)

Fix comparison of H/V-representation objects:
sage: triangle = Polyhedron([(0,0), (1,0), (0,1)]) sage: ieq = triangle.inequality_generator().next() sage: ieq == copy(ieq) False
Now returns True
, as it should.

The new patch I posted at #11634 broke these, so I rebased them.
Apply trac_11763_ZZ_polyhedron-rebase.patch, trac_11763_parents-rebase.patch

comment:8 Changed 9 years ago by
No matter what I do, the patchbot won't pick up the two patches above, so I've done a single qfolded patch. Hopefully this will now work!

comment:10 Changed 9 years ago by
Sorry, I made a hash of rebasing the patch, so here's a new version.
comment:11 Changed 9 years ago by
This changes the behavior of the .vertices() method, returning "sage.geometry.polyhedron.representation.Vertex" objects instead of simple lists of coordinates. This breaks some code of mine, so I think there should be a deprecation warning before introducing this. I don't really like the behavior, but I see that .vertices_list() does return a list of lists of coordinates.
This patch also seems to slow things down a bit, but I haven't carefully tested that aspect.
comment:12 Changed 9 years ago by
The Vertex
object implements the list interface, so any code that doesn't just test isinstance(-,list)
should work fine. Plus, you can't really deprecate something unless you want to remove it later. I added the 'vertices_list` method so people can keep their broken code with minimal patching if they want.
comment:13 Changed 9 years ago by
Well, no, there is quite a bit of my code that does not work fine, and I am not talking about artificial test cases. Here is a shortened example of something this patch breaks:
c = polytopes.n_cube(3) v = c.vertices()[0] point(v)
This now gives a "TypeError?: 'sage.rings.integer.Integer' object does not support indexing".
comment:14 Changed 9 years ago by
For the record: #12541 and #12544 have a similar situation. I replaced tuples with tuple-like containers and some stuff got broken. As it turned out, it was not too difficult to fix it by eliminating some "hard typechecks", although they are still waiting for an approval. If this is the case here, perhaps it is also not too difficult to fix.
As I understand it, direct typechecking is not welcomed in either Python or Sage, so if the new class implements list interface, it should be OK to use in place of the old one. If it does break some code, it is a bug and it should be fixed before merging, but not a reason for avoiding the change entirely or inventing elaborate deprecation scheme...

There is a doctest failing on 5.0.beta10, according to the patchbot (something to do with the new associahedron class from #10817)
comment:16 Changed 9 years ago by

- Status changed from needs_work to needs_review
The associahedron needed to be translated to the parent/element framework as well. I've fixed this. Also, I rediffed trac_11763-polyhedra_coercion_folded.2.patch because it only applied with some fuzz on sage-5.0.beta11

The final patch fixes the point()
command to not make dumb type checks.

comment:20 Changed 9 years ago by
I thought the point of having "Apply" section in the description was to make the patchbot happy, why does it need to be duplicated?..
comment:21 Changed 9 years ago by
It was previously applying the patches in an order other than that listed on the ticket description (with coercion_folded.2.patch last rather than first). I didn't think to check whether the patches were applying happily anyway; as it happens they were. Sorry for the noise!
comment:22 Changed 9 years ago by
Oh, I don't complain about your post - I complain about patchbot not figuring out what is the correct order despite a clear description ;-)

We don't have a policy on trailing white space, so its completely useless bikeshedding to require it one way or another. But since this ticket is the special case where we create a new subdirectory layout, I used a simple sed script to remove trailing whitespace.

comment:26 Changed 9 years ago by
- Status changed from needs_review to needs_work
- There is now an error to be corrected, see bot report for 5.0rc0. This comes from a strange comparison with 'anything', which looks weird.
- Maybe fold all the patches into one ?
- In the part about associahedra, you replaced the sentence "Returns the Cartan type of self." by the sentence "Returns the Cartan type". This seems to be less informative.
comment:27 Changed 9 years ago by
I've changed the cmp()
doctest to use abs(cmp())
to avoid dependence on arbitrary memory positions.
Folding patches is considered harmful since it destroys history without any benefit.
A method always returns information about self
, you could add "... of self" to every docstring.

Rediffed for sage-5.0.beta3 because #12340 introduced a newline in one of the docstrings. No actual code changed.

comment:35 Changed 9 years ago by
I fixed the doctest (its backend=cdd
not cddr
) and added documentation to the sage.geometry.polyhedron.parent.Polyhedra
constructor function.
comment:36 Changed 9 years ago by
Updated patch fixes one important issue. The inherited comparison for PolyhedronFace_base
was too lax, which resulted in identical (and not just isomorphic) face lattices in some cases. Fixed now.

comment:38 Changed 8 years ago by

I've changed the PolyhedronFace
class to just derive from SageObject
this should be clearer. Also, the more trivial patches are folded into the first.
It would be great if this ticket could be reviewed before the heat death of the universe.

Ok, let us forget about trailing whitespaces.
But what about the startup plugin which is complaining here ?

I agree that using lazy imports would be good. I'll give it a whirl.

Patch loads Polyhedron lazily, so we don't import anything on startup.

Also lazily import the parent PolyhedralSets
, plus one typo fix.

Hey Volker,
Do you remember what was the reason for this change in normalize_rays
?
-
sage/geometry/cone.py
diff --git a/sage/geometry/cone.py b/sage/geometry/cone.py
a b 568 568 V = lattice.base_extend(QQ) 569 569 for n, ray in enumerate(rays): 570 570 try: 571 ray = V(ray) 571 if isinstance(ray, (list, tuple, V._element_class)): 572 ray = V(ray) 573 else: 574 ray = V(list(ray)) 572 575 except TypeError: 573 576 raise TypeError("cannot convert %s to %s!" % (ray, V)) 574 577 if ray.is_zero():
It seems that if V
does not want to take a ray
, we should not force it.
comment:59 Changed 8 years ago by
I think the idea is to allow arbitrary iterables in normalize_rays
. Why not? Its an auxiliary function, and the more general it is the better.
comment:60 follow-up: ↓ 61 Changed 8 years ago by
I just was wondering what was the particular use case - found this bit because of the fuzz with another patch. I don't mind it, although changing what V.__call__
accepts seems a more pleasant solution ;-)

Wasn't that one of our design decisions, that the ToricLattice should forbid conversion between the lattice and its dual?

Replying to vbraun:

We prohibit coercion, conversion is certainly possible, and here V
is the spanned vector space anyway. But I've also hit many times a situation when a standard constructor in Sage would not take generators as input, which is probably what has happened here.
Would there be any benefit in supporting real fields of arbitrary precision?
