		a Macaulay2 interface to gfan
	Description
		Text
			@EM "gfanInterface"@ is an interface to Anders Jensen's Gfan software (available at @HREF "http://home.imf.au.dk/jensen/software/gfan/gfan.html"@), which is a C++
			program to compute the Groebner fan (i.e. all the initial ideals) of an ideal.

			The main function in this package is @TO gfan@ which computes all of the Groebner
			bases and initial ideals of a given ideal.  A useful feature of this function is
			that it can handle symmetries in the ideal. If you want the geometric information
			of this list of Groebner basis, see @TO gfanGroebnerCone@.

			Most of the functions in gfanInterface require @TO MarkedPolynomialList@
			marked polynomial lists as input.
			In a marked polynomial list, the leading term of each polynomial is distinguished.
			New users should read the guide @TO "Conventions for calling methods with options"@.
			Since {\tt gfan} is distributed with @EM "Macaulay2"@, one rarely needs to consult
			the guide for @TO "Installation and Configuration of gfanInterface"@.

			Most of functions in the gfan package are accessible through this interface.
			If you wish to use one whose interface is not included here send a message to
			the package author. Also, please feel free to suggest changes to the
			parameter types and return types of each method.

		"Installation and Configuration of gfanInterface"
	Description
		Text
			The {\tt gfanInterface} package makes use of the binary executables from
			Anders Jensen's {\tt gfan} software package. These binary files are distributed
			with @EM "Macaulay2"@ (since version 1.3) and so, it is not necessary to install {\tt gfan}
			separately.

			The user can specify which {\tt gfan} executables are used by setting the appropriate key
			in the @TO "programPaths"@ hash table.	When the path is unspecified, then the binaries
			provided by Macaulay2 are used, if present.  If they are not present, then the directories
			specified in the user's {\tt PATH} environment variable are searched.

			You can change the path, if needed, by setting the appropriate key in @TO "programPaths"@
			and loading the package:

		Example
			programPaths#"gfan" = "/directory/to/gfan/"
			loadPackage("gfanInterface", Reload => true)

		Text
			To set the path permanently, one needs to change
			{\tt gfanInterface.m2} either before installing or in the installed copy.
			You will find the path configuration near the top of the file.

			If {\tt gfanInterface} is already installed and loaded, you can find the path
			of the source file by the following command:

		Example
			gfanInterface#"source file"

		Text
			If you want to use {\tt gfan} executables outside of @EM "Macaulay2"@, they can be found with
			{\tt currentLayout#"programs"}:

		Example
			prefixDirectory | currentLayout#"programs"

		Text
			If you would like to see the input and output files used to communicate with {\tt gfan}
			you can set the {\tt "keepfiles"} configuration option to {\tt true}. If {\tt "verbose"}
			is set to {\tt true}, {\tt gfanInterface} will output the names of the temporary files used.

		Example
			loadPackage("gfanInterface", Configuration => { "keepfiles" => true, "verbose" => true}, Reload => true);
			QQ[x,y];
			gfan {x,y};

		Text
			Finally, if you want to be able to render Groebner fans and monomial staircases
			to {\tt .png} files, you should install {\tt fig2dev}.  If it is installed in a
			non-standard location, then you may specify its path using @TO "programPaths"@.
///

doc ///
	Key
		"Conventions for calling methods with options"
	Description
		Text
			In creating {\tt gfanInterface} the objective has been to mirror
			the {\tt gfan} commands as closely as possible in Macaulay 2.
			Many commands in {\tt gfan} allow command line options and these
			reproduced in {\tt gfanInterface} as optional arguments.

			For example, say we want to find the Groebner bases of
			an ideal with symmetry. From the command line, one would
			type @TT "gfan _bases --symmetry"@ and then give the ring, ideal and
			symmetries of the ideal as input.

			In {\tt gfanInterface} we pass the optional argument {\tt "symmetry"} the
			symmetries and provide the ideal as an argument.

		Example
			QQ[x,y,z];
			gfan(ideal(x^2*y -z, y^2*z - x, z^2*x - y), "symmetry" => {{0,1,2}, {1,2,0}})

		Text
			For each optional {\tt gfan} argument, the corresponding {\tt gfanInterface}
			argument is obtained by simply removing the dashes.

			Here's another example. If we run {\tt gfanBuchberger} without a weight vector,
			it will use the lexicographic order.

		Example
			QQ[x,y,z];
			gfanBuchberger(ideal(x,y+z))

		Text
			If we want to use a different order, the {\tt gfan} documentation tells us to
			use the {\tt -w} argument. So, in Macaulay 2, we set the {\tt w} argument
			to the desired weight vector.

		Example
			QQ[x,y,z];
			gfanBuchberger(ideal(x,y+z), "w" => {1,2,3})

		Text
			Many optional arguments to {\tt gfan} require no additional input. In this case,
			we set the optional argument in Macaulay 2 to be {\tt true}.
///

	Key
		"MarkedPolynomialList"
	Description
		Text
			A marked polynomial list is a list of polynomials in which
			the each polynomial has a distinguished term.

			In gfan, the leading terms of polynomials are marked by writing them first.
			For example, the leading term of @TEX "$y^2 + x^2 + z^2$"@ is @TEX "$y^2$"@ as
			it appears first. In Macaulay 2, polynomials are sorted based on the term
			order of the ring and so distinguished terms are lost if they do not correspond
			to the current ring's term order.

		Example
			QQ[x,y,z];
			y^2 + x^2 + z^2

		Text
			In {\tt gfanInterface}, we represent marked Groebner bases using a list
			of leading terms and a second list of polynomials. Such a pair of lists
			is made into a {\tt MarkedPolynomialList} by using the @TO markedPolynomialList@
			constructor.

		Example
			QQ[x,y,z];
			markedPolynomialList {{y^2, x^2}, {x^2 + y^2 + z^2, x^2 + y^2 + z^2}}

		Text
			Many methods in {\tt gfanInterface} require {\tt MarkedPolynomialLists} as input
			and produce them as output.

			For example, the method @TO gfanMarkPolynomialSet@ takes a list of polynomials
			and a weight vector and returns a list of marked polynomials.
			In this case, the leading term is first computed using
			the weight vector and then lexicographic order to break ties.

		Example
			QQ[x,y,z];
			gfanMarkPolynomialSet({x*y^3+z^4, x^2*z^2 + y^3*z}, {-1,2,5})

			In the above example any weights {\em w = a(1,1) + p (1,-1)} for {\em a}

		Example

		Text
			To evaluate the tropical function at a point $p$, as given by the polyhedral data above, we write it a linear combination of the appropriate ray and lineality vectors. The coefficients used are then combined in a linear combination with the given ray values.

			For instance the point $p = (1, 7, 13)$ can be written as $3(-1,-1,2) + 2(2,0,1) + 5(0,2,1)$. The values on the these rays are $4, 2$ and $2$ respectively. Thus the tropical function evaluated at $p$ is $3*4 + 2*2 + 5*2 = 26$.

-- Andrew, try this. You might need to update your M2, and rebuild, which gives you a bug-fixed gfan (0.4plus).
-- I want to discuss with you at some point what the actual fields in the polymake object should be called, and what the types of their values should be.
-- e.g. MULTIPLICITIES, and MULTIPLICITIES_COMPRESSED seem to have different types. **FIXED
-- (other comments:
--  MY_EULER is Anders' private info, so let's remove it **FIXED (errors are no longer produced on unrecognised blocks)
--  _COMPRESSED should be called _ORBITS (Anders said so: he made a mistake) **NOT FIXED
--  SIMPLICIAL: should be a boolean **FIXED (I updated the type and converted 1 into true)
--  we should probably make the type: PolymakeFan **FIXED (now I'm parsing the type in the header)
