Okay, I'll give compiling polymake a shot. Thanks for the very quick reply!

Ever since the latest MacOs update last Friday, I've had problems starting polymake (installed from the MacOs bundle) because perl was updated: mb029:~ yueren$ /Applications/polymake.app/Contents/MacOS/polymake.run ========================================================================== your perl ...

I am trying to compute the projection of a tropical hypersurface using fan::projection (trying to get a decomposition of Trop(PGL(3)) depending on its action on a plane quadric): use application "tropical"; my $mQuadric = [ [2,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0], [1,1,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0], [0,2,0,0,2,0...

I came across a tropical hypersurface which polymake claims to be two-codimensional (and not one-codimensional). Is this a bug or did I make some mistake in the input? tropical > $px = toTropicalPolynomial("min(13,x-y+5,-x+y+5,x-z+5,-x+z+5,x+5,-x+5)"); tropical > $Vx = new Hypersurface<Min...

I really like that visualizations can be viewed in any browser using javaview. But is it also possible to create a file that can be opened by the javaview app? I would like to save the objects in STL format for 3d-printing. Here is an example that I would be interested in printing, a faithful tropic...

Oops, the solution is quite apparent:

How can I tropicalize a polynomial g(x1,x2) in a polynomial ring K[x0,x1,x2]? I have two polynomials f(x0,x1) and g(x1,x2) in K[x0,x1,x2] and want to visualize the intersection of their hypersurfaces in R^3. The command "toTropicalPolynomial" tropicalizes x1 to x_0 and x2 to x_1: tropical ...

I built successfully built polymake 3.1 on a compute server in Kaiserslautern (4.4.6-gentoo), but I get the following error when I try to start it with the option '--no-config': ren@nenekiki ~ $ polymake --no-config Welcome to polymake version 3.1 Copyright (c) 1997-2017 Ewgenij Gawrilow, Michael Jo...

I just freshly built polymake 3.1, however I get the following error when I try to run it: ren@lukas:~/polymake$ polymake Welcome to polymake version 3.1 Copyright (c) 1997-2017 Ewgenij Gawrilow, Michael Joswig (TU Berlin) [...] Loading applications now...polymake: ERROR: Error in rules embedded in ...

Thanks alot, that will make my code even cleaner now. I was wondering how to obtain the decorations...
