building SubdivisionOfPoints from C++

[vdelecroix]

Hello,

I would like to build a SubdivisionOfPoints from C++. However, my experiments were not fruitful.

Using

Code: Select all

perl::Object * sd = new perl::Object("SubdivisionOfPoints");

raises for me a

Code: Select all

Error processing type expression SubdivisionOfPoints: Package "SubdivisionOfPoints" does not exist at (eval 275) line 1. at /usr/local/share/polymake/perllib/Polymake/Core/Application.pm line 431. Polymake::Core::Application::construct_type() called at -e line 0 eval {...} called at -e line 0

Any hint on how to proceed would be appreciated.

You should either switch to the application "fan" beforehand, or use a qualified object type name "fan::SubdivisionOfPoints".

I should say that

Code: Select all

perl::Object

is outdated now. In version 4.0 this was replaced by

Code: Select all

BigObject

; no perl:: anymore.

To get an idea I would recommend to look at code in polymake's source, e.g., normal_fan.cc. While that is about a different big object type, its use is similar.

Thanks for your answers. I forgot to mention that I am using Polymake 3.6.

I also tried with fan::SubdivisionOfPoints and I get the same kind of error

Code: Select all

Package "fan::SubdivisionOfPoints" does not exist at (eval 257) line 1. at /usr/local/share/polymake/perllib/Polymake/Core/Application.pm line 431. Polymake::Core::Application::construct_type() called at -e line 0 eval {...} called at -e line 0

Then please try with explicit application switch.

That worked But this application switch is somehow annoying.
