schlegel(facet=None, position=None)[source]#

Return the Schlegel projection.

  • The facet is orthonormally transformed into its affine hull.

  • The position specifies a point coming out of the barycenter of the facet from which the other vertices will be projected into the facet.

INPUT:

  • facet – a PolyhedronFace. The facet into which the Schlegel diagram is created. The default is the first facet.

  • position – a positive number. Determines a relative distance from the barycenter of facet. A value close to 0 will place the projection point close to the facet and a large value further away. If the given value is too large, an error is returned. If no position is given, it takes the midpoint of the possible point of views along a line spanned by the barycenter of the facet and a valid point outside the facet.

EXAMPLES:

sage: cube4 = polytopes.hypercube(4)
sage: from sage.geometry.polyhedron.plot import Projection
sage: Projection(cube4).schlegel()
The projection of a polyhedron into 3 dimensions
sage: _.plot()                                                              # needs sage.plot

A 3-dimensional face of a Polyhedron in QQ^4 defined as the convex hull of 4 vertices
sage: into_tetra = Projection(tcube4).schlegel(tcube4.facets()[4])          # needs sage.symbolic
sage: into_tetra.plot()                                                     # needs sage.plot sage.symbolic

>>> tcube4.facets()[Integer(4)]
A 3-dimensional face of a Polyhedron in QQ^4 defined as the convex hull of 4 vertices

Graphics3d Object

Taking a larger value for the position changes the image:

sage: into_tetra_far = Projection(tcube4).schlegel(tcube4.facets()[4], 4)   # needs sage.symbolic
sage: into_tetra_far.plot()                                                 # needs sage.plot sage.symbolic

Graphics3d Object

A value which is too large or negative give a projection point that sees more than one facet resulting in a error:

stereographic(projection_point=None)[source]#

Return the stereographic projection.

INPUT:

  • projection_point – The projection point. This must be distinct from the polyhedron’s vertices. Default is \((1,0,\dots,0)\)

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.geometry.polyhedron.plot import Projection
sage: proj = Projection(polytopes.buckyball()); proj  # long time
The projection of a polyhedron into 3 dimensions
sage: proj.stereographic([5,2,3]).plot()    # long time                     # needs sage.plot

Return a tikz picture of self as a string or as a TikzPicture according to a projection view and an angle angle obtained via the threejs viewer.

INPUT:

  • view – list (default: [0,0,1]) representing the rotation axis (see note below).

  • angle – integer (default: 0) angle of rotation in degree from 0 to 360 (see note below).

  • scale – integer (default: 1) specifying the scaling of the tikz picture.

  • edge_color – string (default: ‘blue!95!black’) representing colors which tikz recognize.

  • facet_color – string (default: ‘blue!95!black’) representing colors which tikz recognize.

  • vertex_color – string (default: ‘green’) representing colors which tikz recognize.

  • opacity – real number (default: 0.8) between 0 and 1 giving the opacity of the front facets.

  • axis – Boolean (default: False) draw the axes at the origin or not.

  • output_type – string (default: None), valid values are None (deprecated), 'LatexExpr' and 'TikzPicture', whether to return a LatexExpr object (which inherits from Python str) or a TikzPicture object from module sage.misc.latex_standalone

OUTPUT:

LatexExpr object or TikzPicture object

Note

The inputs view and angle can be obtained by visualizing it using .show(aspect_ratio=1). This will open an interactive view in your default browser, where you can rotate the polytope. Once the desired view angle is found, click on the information icon in the lower right-hand corner and select Get Viewpoint. This will copy a string of the form ‘[x,y,z],angle’ to your local clipboard. Go back to Sage and type Img = P.projection().tikz([x,y,z],angle).

The inputs view and angle can also be obtained from the viewer Jmol:

1) Right click on the image
2) Select ``Console``
3) Select the tab ``State``
4) Scroll to the line ``moveto``

It reads something like:

moveto 0.0 {x y z angle} Scale

The view is then [x,y,z] and angle is angle. The following number is the scale.

Jmol performs a rotation of angle degrees along the vector [x,y,z] and show the result from the z-axis.
