## Detailed Description

A closed convex polyhedron.

An object of the class C_Polyhedron represents a topologically closed convex polyhedron in the vector space .

When building a closed polyhedron starting from a system of constraints, an exception is thrown if the system contains a strict inequality constraint. Similarly, an exception is thrown when building a closed polyhedron starting from a system of generators containing a closure point.

Note:
  Such an exception will be obtained even if the system of constraints (resp., generators) actually defines a topologically closed subset of the vector space, i.e., even if all the strict inequalities (resp., closure points) in the system happen to be redundant with respect to the system obtained by removing all the strict inequality constraints (resp., all the closure points). In contrast, when building a closed polyhedron starting from an object of the class NNC_Polyhedron, the precise topological closure test will be performed.
