The GAP 4 package SimplicialSurfaces

Installation

To use this package, go into your local installation directory for GAP (often located under /opt/gap* ), and clone this repository in the pkg/-subfolder:

cd pkg/
git clone https://github.com/gap-packages/SimplicialSurfaces.git

You also need the following package:

git clone https://github.com/gap-packages/AttributeScheduler

It is suggested that you also use the NautyTracesInterface for faster isomorphism checks:

git clone https://github.com/gap-packages/NautyTracesInterface.git

To install NautytracesInterface you can run the install.sh script in the newly created NautytracesInterface directory. For more information we refer to the package itself.

For using the Package, call

LoadPackage("SimplicialSurfaces");

to access the package inside a GAP session.

Manual compilation

To create the manual you have to type

make

in the main folder of the SimplicialSurfaces-package. This requires GAPDoc version >= 1.6 and AutoDoc version >= 2017.09.15. These are deposited packages, so usually are shipped with your GAP installation. If you don’t have those, go to the folder of your local GAP installation and type

cd pkg/
git clone https://github.com/frankluebeck/GAPDoc.git
git clone https://github.com/gap-packages/AutoDoc.git

Regenerating images

To compile the pictures, you can run the following script:

doc/tikz-files/recompile-images.sh
