AffineHull(polyset)

Parameters

polyset

polyhedral set

Description

• 

This command computes the affine hull for the given polyhedral set polyset, returning the result as a new PolyhedralSet.

• 

The affine hull of a line segment is the whole line and that of a 2-D face in a 3-D space is the plane containing the face.

Examples

Construct a 2-D triangle in 3-D space

(1)

Compute its affine hull, which is the plane passing through all of its vertices

(2)

The affine hull of an empty set is also an empty set

(3)

(4)

Compatibility

• 

The PolyhedralSets[AffineHull] command was introduced in Maple 2015.

•
