Deprecated since Regina 7.0

Description

In Regina 6.0.1 and earlier, the packet element was used to store every packet in the entire packet tree that makes up a Regina data file. This page describes how the packet element was structured when storing a higher-dimensional triangulation. Since Regina 7.0, each packet type has its own XML element; in particular, all triangulations are now stored using the tri element.

This type of triangulation packet stores a dim-dimensional triangulation, for dimensions 5 ≤ dim ≤ 15.

The top-dimensional simplices that form this triangulation and their corresponding facet gluings are specified by the child simplices element. Other optional child elements may store precalculated properties of this triangulation.

The roles played by the child tag and packet elements are described in the general packet element documentation.

Note

Regina supports triangulations in many dimensions. See also the elements packet (2-dimensional triangulation), packet (3-dimensional triangulation), and packet (4-dimensional triangulation).

Parents
