Comment(by novoselt):

 Replying to [comment:3 vbraun]:
 > About the four equations, I think it would be better to avoid explicit
 spacing. Whats 1ex in a web browser, in a terminal??. You can just split
 it into two equations and say something like nef partition blah (equation)
 is dual to the nef partition (equation).

 Well, in the terminal these equations are hard to comprehend anyway and a
 reasonable choice for 1ex spacing would be a blank line perhaps. In a
 browser the whole block is rendered as a LaTeX expression using some font,
 so 1ex means what it should mean in LaTeX. So I would prefer to keep it as
 is, since it pleases my eyes when rendered properly ;-) But if you really
 want I'll break it into two blocks.

 > My other suggestion would be to explain the INPUT section of the
 `nef_partition()` method in more detail. I realize that you are just
 refactoring that part, but it would be very helpful if you would spell out
 what the options do. Whats a symmetric partition?

 I'll try to make it more clear. The most accurate explanation is that a
 certain option is passed to nef.x. As far as I understand, two partitions
 are symmetric if one is the image of another under a lattice symmetry of
 the polytope.
