| #### D.13.2.33 polytopeViaPoints Procedure from library `gfan.lib` (see gfan_lib). Usage: polytopeViaPoints(V [, flags]); intmat V, int flags Return: polytope which is the intersection of the cone generated by the row vectors of V with the hyperplane, in which the first coordinate equals 1; flags may be 0 or 1, if flags is 1, then program assumes that each row vector of M generates a ray in the cone, if flags is 0, then program computes that information itself Example:
    LIB "gfan.lib";
    // This is a polytope in R^2 generated by (0,0), (1,0), (0,1), (0,0);
    intmat V[4][3]=
    1,0,0,
    1,1,0,
    1,0,1,
    1,1,1;
    polytope p1=polytopeViaPoints(V);
