    Construct a polyhedron object.

    You may either define it with vertex/ray/line or
    inequalities/equations data, but not both. Redundant data will
    automatically be removed (unless ``minimize=False``), and the
    complementary representation will be computed.

    INPUT:

    - ``vertices`` -- list of point. Each point can be specified as
      any iterable container of ``base_ring`` elements.
        
    - ``rays`` -- list of rays. Each ray can be specified as any
      iterable container of ``base_ring`` elements.
        
    - ``lines`` -- list of lines. Each line can be specified as any
      iterable container of ``base_ring`` elements.

    - ``ieqs`` -- list of inequalities. Each line can be specified as
      any iterable container of ``base_ring`` elements.

    - ``eqns`` -- list of equalities. Each line can be specified as
      any iterable container of ``base_ring`` elements.

    - ``base_ring`` -- either ``QQ`` or ``RDF``. The field over which
      the polyhedron will be defined. For ``QQ``, exact arithmetic
      will be used. For ``RDF``, floating point numbers will be
      used. Floating point arithmetic is faster but might give the
      wrong result for degenerate input.

    - ``backend`` -- string or ``None`` (default). The backend to use. Valid choices are

      * ``'cddr'``: cdd (:mod:`~sage.geometry.polyhedron.backend_cdd`)
        with rational coefficients

      * ``'cddf'``: cdd with floating-point coefficients

      * ``'ppl'``: use ppl
        (:mod:`~sage.geometry.polyhedron.backend_ppl`) with `\QQ`
        coefficients.

    Some backends support further optional arguments:

    - ``minimize`` -- boolean (default: ``True``). Whether to
      immediately remove redundant H/V-representation data. Currently
      not used.

    - ``verbose`` -- boolean (default: ``False``). Whether to print
      verbose output for debugging purposes. Only supported by the cdd
      backends.

    OUTPUT:

    The polyhedron defined by the input data.

    OUTPUT:

    The polyhedron defined by the input data.

    EXAMPLES:

    Construct some polyhedra::

        sage: square_from_vertices = Polyhedron(vertices = [[1, 1], [1, -1], [-1, 1], [-1, -1]])
        sage: square_from_ieqs = Polyhedron(ieqs = [[1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 0], [1, 0, -1], [1, -1, 0]])
        sage: list(square_from_ieqs.vertex_generator())
        [A vertex at (1, -1),
         A vertex at (1, 1),
         A vertex at (-1, 1),
         A vertex at (-1, -1)]
        sage: list(square_from_vertices.inequality_generator())
        [An inequality (1, 0) x + 1 >= 0,
         An inequality (0, 1) x + 1 >= 0,
         An inequality (-1, 0) x + 1 >= 0,
         An inequality (0, -1) x + 1 >= 0]
        sage: p = Polyhedron(vertices = [[1.1, 2.2], [3.3, 4.4]], base_ring=RDF)
        sage: p.n_inequalities()
        2

    The same polyhedron given in two ways::

        sage: p = Polyhedron(ieqs = [[0,1,0,0],[0,0,1,0]])
        sage: p.Vrepresentation()
        (A line in the direction (0, 0, 1),
         A ray in the direction (1, 0, 0),
         A ray in the direction (0, 1, 0),
         A vertex at (0, 0, 0))
        sage: q = Polyhedron(vertices=[[0,0,0]], rays=[[1,0,0],[0,1,0]], lines=[[0,0,1]])
        sage: q.Hrepresentation()
        (An inequality (1, 0, 0) x + 0 >= 0,
         An inequality (0, 1, 0) x + 0 >= 0)

    Finally, a more complicated example. Take `\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}^6` with
    coordinates `a, b, \dots, f` and

      * The inequality `e+b \geq c+d`
      * The inequality `e+c \geq b+d`
      * The equation `a+b+c+d+e+f = 31`
      
    ::

        sage: positive_coords = Polyhedron(ieqs=[
        ...       [0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0],
        ...       [0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1]])
        sage: P = Polyhedron(ieqs=positive_coords.inequalities() + [
        ...       [0,0,1,-1,-1,1,0], [0,0,-1,1,-1,1,0]], eqns=[[-31,1,1,1,1,1,1]])
        sage: P
        A 5-dimensional polyhedron in QQ^6 defined as the convex hull of 7 vertices
        sage: P.dim()
        5
        sage: P.Vrepresentation()
        (A vertex at (31, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0), A vertex at (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 31),
         A vertex at (0, 0, 0, 0, 31, 0), A vertex at (0, 0, 31/2, 0, 31/2, 0),
         A vertex at (0, 31/2, 31/2, 0, 0, 0), A vertex at (0, 31/2, 0, 0, 31/2, 0),
         A vertex at (0, 0, 0, 31/2, 31/2, 0))

    .. NOTE::
    
      * Once constructed, a ``Polyhedron`` object is immutable.
      * Although the option ``field=RDF`` allows numerical data to
        be used, it might not give the right answer for degenerate
        input data - the results can depend upon the tolerance
        setting of cdd.

def cdd_Vrepresentation(cdd_type, vertices, rays, lines, file_output=None):
    r"""
    Return a string containing the V-representation in cddlib's ext format.

    INPUT:

    - ``file_output`` (string; optional) -- a filename to which the
      representation should be written. If set to ``None`` (default),
      representation is returned as a string.

    .. NOTE::

        If there is no vertex given, then the origin will be implicitly
        added. You cannot write the empty V-representation (which cdd would
        refuse to process).

    EXAMPLES::

        sage: from sage.geometry.polyhedron.cdd_file_format import cdd_Vrepresentation
        sage: print cdd_Vrepresentation('rational', [[0,0]], [[1,0]], [[0,1]])
