def normal_cone(self):
r"""
Return the (closure of the) normal cone of the triangulation.
Recall that a regular triangulation is one that equals the
"crease lines" of a convex piecewise-linear function. This
support function is not unique, for example, you can scale it
by a positive constant. The set of all piecewise-linear
functions with fixed creases forms an open cone. This cone can
be interpreted as the cone of normal vectors at a point of the
secondary polytope, which is why we call it normal cone. See
[GKZ]_ Section 7.1 for details.
OUTPUT:
The closure of the normal cone. The `i`-th entry equals the
value of the piecewise-linear function at the `i`-th point of
the configuration.
For an irregular triangulation, the normal cone is empty. In
this case, a single point (the origin) is returned.
