polymake is open source software for research in polyhedral
geometry. It deals with polytopes, polyhedra, and fans as well as simplicial
complexes, matroids, graphs, tropical hypersurfaces, and various other
objects. When called without arguments it will start an interactive shell,
use help; for a very short introduction.
- --help
- print help text and exit.
- --version
- print the version number, copyright notice, and exit.
- [application::]script_file
- execute the perl script in the file. If an application prefix is
specified, this application is loaded and the script file is looked up in
its script directory.
- --script
[application::]script_file arguments ...
- execute the perl script in the file, passing the arguments in
@ARGV.
- --iscript
[application::]script_file arguments ...
- execute the perl script in the file, which may contain interactive
commands, passing the arguments in @ARGV.
- 'script text'
- interpret the string as an inline polymake/perl script.
- -
- read and execute the commands from the standard input. standard output and
error streams are not redirected.
- --touch
data_file [ data_file ... ]
- read the files and write them out; useful for converting from earlier
polymake versions
- -A
application_name
- start with this application, ignoring the $default_application and
@start_applications settings.
- -a
application_name
- start with this application, ignoring the $default_application but
in contrast to -A, load everything in
@start_applications.
- -d
- produce some debug output; can be repeated to increase the debug
level.
- -v
- tell what's going on; can be repeated to increase the verbosity level.
This is an obsolete option, please use custom variables $Verbose::*
to gain more detailed control.
- --reconfigure
- rerun the autoconfiguration sections in all rule files.
- --config-path
settings_file
- Import settings from a global configuration file. Several
--config-path options are allowed, later instances have higher
priority.
- --config-path
user[=config_directory]
- Specify the location of user's private settings, by default it's
~/.polymake which may be overridden via POLYMAKE_USER_DIR
environment variable. All global --config-path imports must precede
this option.
- --no-config
- Don't read any configuration files, don't try to configure rules
automatically, don't load rule files requiring auto-configuration.
Equivalent to --config-path=none.
- --ignore-config
- Don't read any configuration files, skip auto-configuration routines in
the rule files. Equivalent to --config-path=ignore.
