Can I visualize the net of a 4d polytope in polymake?

Postby vissarion » 01 Aug 2012, 19:34

Hello,
is there any polymake client to compute and visualize the net of a 4d polytope, say P, in polymake? That is, a complex of 3d-polytopes (facets of P) which can be folded to P.

Thanks a lot,
Vissarion

polymake does not have such a feature implemented, and I am not aware of anyone else having programmed such a thing. javaview can unfold 3D-geometries, but I don't think it can handle 4D objects (but I don't know).
