Calling Sequence

IsFace(ps1, ps2)

Parameters

ps1

-

PolyhedralSet, the potential face of ps2

ps2

-

PolyhedralSet, the polyhedral set possibly containing ps1 as a face

Description

• 

Checks to see if the n dimensional set ps1 is an n-face of the m dimensional set ps2.

• 

This command checks for proper faces only, so that the dimension of ps1 must be at least zero (a vertex) and at most m1 (a facet of ps2).  The empty set is not considered a face of ps2.

Examples

withPolyhedralSets:

A vertex is a 0-face of a set

(1)

The faces of a set will return true when tested using IsFace
