Indeed, this is a gap in the documentation. Thanks for pointing this out. I just made an addition to https://polymake.org/doku.php/user_guide/tutorials/coordinates , which will become visible not before tomorrow (after the automated update). Here it comes. polymake has limited support for other orde...
A third source of error is that some of the Johnson solids are represented with float coordinates, i.e., coordinate-wise in an inexact way. E.g., polytope > $j = johnson_solid(9); $_=$j->description; chomp; print "$_: ", $j->F_VECTOR, " ", $j->type->full_name, "\n"; Johnson solid J9: Elongated penta...
A second potential source of error could be that there are competing conventions as far as names are concerned. Here is one line of polymake code which generates all Johnson solids and lists their names and f-vectors. polytope> for (my $k=1; $k<=92; ++$k) { $j = johnson_solid($k); $_=$j->description...
The following is computed with polymake 3.4 and confirmed with the brand new version 3.5: polytope > print rhombicosidodecahedron()->F_VECTOR; 60 120 62 polytope > print truncated_dodecahedron()->F_VECTOR; 60 90 32 At least these two seem to agree with yours. It also works with the Julia interface P...
Each point in the mapping polytope/Hom-polytope is encoded as the constant 1 (for homogenization) plus a matrix encoded as consecutive row vectors. That matrix encodes a projective transformation (yielding affine coordinates, however), such that it can be applied to points in the polytope correspond...
Dear polymakers, we are happy to inform you that version 3.4 of polymake appeared today. We moved to more rapid development cycle, aiming at four releases per year. So stay tuned for the next release, which is scheduled for July 15 already. As usual we are happy about any feedback that you might giv...
As Ewgenij had pointed out, calling > polymake-config --version 3.3 from the terminal shell is the standard way to learn about the polymake version. The executable polymake-config is installed alongside the actual polymake. There are also many other things that you can figure out about the installat...
Please tell us which polymake version your are using on which operating system. Did you compile from source code (then, please, send your file build/config.ninja), or did you use some precompiled version from some package manager (which?).
