  Description     : math tool for computations in affine monoids, and rational polytopes and cones

Normaliz is a mathematical tool for computations in affine monoids, vector
configurations, lattice polytopes, and rational cones.

Its input data can be specified in terms of:
	- a system of generators or vertices;
	- a system of linear Diophantine equations, inequalities and congruences;
	- a binomial ideal.
Normaliz computes:
	- the dual cone of a rational cone (in other words, given generators,
	  Normaliz computes the defining hyperplanes, and vice versa);
	- a placing (or lexicographic) triangulation of a vector configuration
	  (resulting in a triangulation of the cone generated by it);
	- the Hilbert basis of a rational cone;
	- the lattice points of a rational polytope;
	- the lattice points of a rational (unbounded) polyhedron;
	- the normalization of an affine monoid;
	- the Hilbert  (or Ehrhart) series and the Hilbert (or Ehrhart) (quasi)
	  polynomial under a Z-grading (for example, for rational polytopes);
	- Ehrhart series for semiopen cones;
	- generalized (or weighted) Ehrhart series and Lebesgue integrals of
	  polynomials over rational polytopes via NmzIntegrate (also in the
	  semiopen case);
	- a description of the cone and lattice under consideration by a
    system of inequalities, equations and congruences.

Normaliz can be started from the command line or from the GUI interface: the
user indicates the type of input data in an input file and controls the
computation and the output via the GUI interface or command line options.
