|  |  D.13.2.5 secondaryPolytope Procedure from librarypolymake.lib(see  polymake_lib).
 
Example:Usage:
secondaryPolytope(polygon[,#]); list polygon, list #
Assume:
- polygon is a list of integer vectors of the same size representing
the affine coordinates of lattice points
- if the triangulations of the corresponding polygon have already been
computed with the procedure triangulations then these can be given as
a second (optional) argument in order to avoid doing this computation
again
 
Purpose:
the procedure considers the marked polytope given as the convex hull of
the lattice points and with these lattice points as markings; it then
computes the lattice points of the secondary polytope given by this
marked polytope which correspond to the triangulations computed by
the procedure triangulations
Return:
list, say L, such that:
L[1] = intmat, each row gives the affine coordinates of a lattice
point in the secondary polytope given by the marked
 polytope corresponding to polygon
 L[2] = the list of corresponding triangulations
 
Note:
if the triangluations are not handed over as optional argument the
procedure calls for its computation of these triangulations the program
points2triangs from the program topcom by Joerg Rambau, Universitaet
Bayreuth; it therefore is necessary that this program is installed in
order to use this procedure; see
