  1.1 What is the goal of the Convex package?
  
  Convex provides structures and algorithms for convex geometry. It can handle
  convex, fans and polytopes. Not only the structures are provided, but also a
  collection  of  algorithms  to  handle those objects. Basically, it provides
  convex geometry to GAP. It is capable of communicating with the CAS polymake
  via  the  package  PolymakeInterface  and  also  provides several methods by
  itself.
