# topic: application
# <em>top</em>ology <em>a</em>pplication <em>z</em>oo deals with abstract simplicial complexes.
# A complex is given as a list of facets.  You can ask for its global properties (manifold recognition,
# homology groups, etc.),  explore the local vertex environment (stars, links, etc.),  and make a lot
# of constructions.
#
# The visualization means are constrained, as they are mostly based on the graph (1-skeleton) of a complex.
