class sage.geometry.polyhedron.palp_database.PALPreader(dim, data_basename=None, output='Polyhedron')

Bases: sage.structure.sage_object.SageObject

Read PALP database of polytopes.

INPUT:

• dim – integer. The dimension of the polyhedra
• data_basename – string or None (default). The directory and database base filename (PALP usually uses 'zzdb') name containing the PALP database to read. Defaults to the built-in database location.
• output – string. How to return the reflexive polyhedron data. Allowed values = 'list', 'Polyhedron' (default), 'pointcollection', and 'PPL'. Case is ignored.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.geometry.polyhedron.palp_database import PALPreader
sage: polygons = PALPreader(2)
sage: [ (p.n_Vrepresentation(), len(p.integral_points())) for p in polygons ]
[(3, 4), (3, 10), (3, 5), (3, 9), (3, 7), (4, 6), (4, 8), (4, 9),
 (4, 5), (4, 5), (4, 9), (4, 7), (5, 8), (5, 6), (5, 7), (6, 7)]

sage: next(iter(PALPreader(2, output='list')))
[[1, 0], [0, 1], [-1, -1]]
sage: type(_)
<... 'list'>

sage: next(iter(PALPreader(2, output='Polyhedron')))
A 2-dimensional polyhedron in ZZ^2 defined as the convex hull of 3 vertices
sage: type(_)
<class 'sage.geometry.polyhedron.parent.Polyhedra_ZZ_ppl_with_category.element_class'>

sage: next(iter(PALPreader(2, output='PPL')))
A 2-dimensional lattice polytope in ZZ^2 with 3 vertices
sage: type(_)
<class 'sage.geometry.polyhedron.ppl_lattice_polygon.LatticePolygon_PPL_class'>

sage: next(iter(PALPreader(2, output='PointCollection')))
[ 1,  0],
[ 0,  1],
[-1, -1]
in Ambient free module of rank 2 over the principal ideal domain Integer Ring
sage: type(_)
<type 'sage.geometry.point_collection.PointCollection'>

class sage.geometry.polyhedron.palp_database.Reflexive4dHodge(h11, h21, data_basename=None, **kwds)

Bases: sage.geometry.polyhedron.palp_database.PALPreader

Read the PALP database for Hodge numbers of 4d polytopes.

The database is very large and not installed by default. You can install it with the shell command sage -i polytopes_db_4d.

INPUT:

• h11, h21 – Integers. The Hodge numbers of the reflexive polytopes to list.

Any additional keyword arguments are passed to PALPreader.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.geometry.polyhedron.palp_database import Reflexive4dHodge
sage: ref = Reflexive4dHodge(1,101)             # optional - polytopes_db_4d
sage: next(iter(ref)).Vrepresentation()         # optional - polytopes_db_4d
(A vertex at (-1, -1, -1, -1), A vertex at (0, 0, 0, 1),
 A vertex at (0, 0, 1, 0), A vertex at (0, 1, 0, 0), A vertex at (1, 0, 0, 0))
