TOPCOM(7)

NAME
TOPCOM - triangulations of point configurations and oriented matroids

DESCRIPTION

TOPCOM programs share a command-line parsing library. Therefore, all TOPCOM programs accept the following options. Note that some options are not relevant to all TOPCOM programs.

Options concerning shell output:

-h, --help
    summarize the program options.

-v  write verbose information to stderr.

--reportfrequency [N]
    report every Nth new triangulation.

-d  write debug information to stderr.

--heights
    write height vectors for triangulations to stdout (implies --regular).

--flips
    write flips as pairs of triangulation IDs to stdout.

Options for checking input:

--checktriang
    check any given triangulations for correctness.

Options for reporting properties of discovered triangulations:

--flipdeficiency
    report flip deficiency in triangulations to stderr.

--checkfrequency [N]
    check for regularity every Nth triangulation and exit if regular.

Options concerning which triangulations are output (no influence on exploration):

--cardinality [N]
    count/output only triangulations of cardinality N.

--nonregular
    count/output only non-regular triangulations.

Options concerning which triangulations are explored:

--regular
    consider only regular triangulations.

--noinsertion
    never use a point that is unused in the seed triangulation.

--reducepoints
    try to remove the number of use points, reported to stderr.

--keepcard
    never change the cardinality of triangulations by flipping.

Options concerning symmetries:

--affine
    assume that given symmetries are affine.

--nosymmetries
    ignore symmetries.

Options for dumping and reading the status of an interrupted computation:

--dump
    dump status of previous computation (last completed BFS round) into file.

--dumpfile [FILENAME]
    set dump file name to FILENAME (default: "TOPCOM.dump").

--dumpfrequency [N]
    dump each Nth completed BFS round (default: 1).

--dumprotations [N]
    dump into N rotating files.

--read
    read status of previous computation (last completed BFS round) from file.

--readfile [FILENAME]
    set dump file name to read to FILENAME (default: "TOPCOM.dump").

Options concerning internal behaviour:

--memopt
    try to reduce memory consumption.

--chirocache [N]
    set the chirotope cache to N elements.

--localcache [N]
    set the cache for local data to N elements.

--soplex
    use soplex for regularity checks. Note that soplex is not available from Fedora due to its non-free license.
