polymake - tool for algorithmic treatment of polytopes and polyhedra
Contents
Arguments
--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_filearguments...
execute the perl script in the file, passing the arguments in @ARGV.
--iscript [application::]script_filearguments...
execute the perl script in the file, which may contain interactive commands, passing the arguments
in @ARGV.
'scripttext'
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.
--touchdata_file [ data_file... ]
read the files and write them out; useful for converting from earlier polymake versions

Description
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.
Name
polymake - tool for algorithmic treatment of polytopes and polyhedra
Options
-Aapplication_name
start with this application, ignoring the $default_application and @start_applications settings.
-aapplication_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-pathsettings_file
Import settings from a global configuration file. Several --config-path options are allowed,
later instances have higher priority.
--config-pathuser[=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.
