Confused by error message from truncation

[bremner]

Using polymake 4.11 on Debian.

I'm re-inventing bipyramid to have more control over the geometry, but I'm confused by the error message
I get from the following

Code: Select all

use application "polytope"; my $p=new Polytope(POINTS=> [ [1,0,1,1], [1,1,0,1], [1,1,1,0], [1,1,1,1], [1,1/3,1/3,1/3] ] ); my $q=truncation($p,All,cutoff=>1/16);

When I run with polymake --script test.poly I get

polymake: ERROR: ".../test.poly", line 16: truncation: wrong LP

If I move the apices farther from the afine span of the triangle then it works fine, so perhaps I have made a silly geometry mistake, feel free to point it out

Your code complies with what is allowed in the docs. So it's probably a bug. Stay tuned.
