_**The library is currently in the early stages of development and is not yet ready for production use.**_
Welcome to smplx, a topologically oriented crate focused on simplexes and their complexes.
## Features
- [x] Simplex
## Background
A simplex describes the smallest (and simplest) polytope in any dimension. More specifically, $n$-simplex $\Delta^n$ is defined to be the $n$-dimensional polytope formed from the convex hull $C$ of its $n+1$ verices where the vertices are affinely independent points $u_0, u_1, \ldots, u_n \in \mathbb{R}^n$.
$C = \biggl\{ \sum_{i=0}^{k} \lambda_i v_i : \lambda_i\geq{0} \text{ for all } j \text{ and }\sum_{i=0}^{k} \lambda_i = 1 \biggr\}$
## Getting Started
### Building from the source
Start by cloning the repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/FL03/smplx.git
cd smplx
```
#### _Build the workspace_
```bash
cargo build --all-features -r --workspace
```
#### _Run an exmple_
```bash
## Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies.smplx]
features = ["full"]
version = "0.0.1"
```
### Examples
#### _Simplex_
```rust
extern crate smplx;
use smplx::Simplex;
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
tracing_subscriber::fmt::init();
tracing::info!("Welcome to smplx!");
let simplex = Simplex::new().dim(2).with_vertices([0, 1, 2]).build()?;
Ok(())
}
```
