  | ### 4.24.1 polytopeViaPoints `Syntax:` `polytopeViaPoints(` intmat V `)` `polytopeViaPoints(` intmat V, int flags `)` `Type:` polytope `Purpose:` polytope which is the intersection of the cone generated by the row vectors of V with the hyperplane, in which the first coordinate equals 1; flags may be 0 or 1, if flags is 1, then program assumes that each row vector of M generates a ray in the cone, if flags is 0, then program computes that information itself. `Example:`
      LIB"gfanlib.so";
      // This is a polytope in R^2 generated by (0,0), (1,0), (0,1), (0,0);
