Basic Usage is:

gr := plot_pargrm_2d([ v1, v2 ], A)

display(gr);

where v1 and v2 are vectors in R^2 and A is a 2 by 2 matrix.

The parallelogram with vertices 0, v1, v1+v2, and v2 is drawn in blue.

The parallelogram with vertices 0, Av1, A(v1+v2), and Av2 is drawn in red.

There is also a function

help_pargrm_3d();

describing the 3 dimensional case.

Standard Basis Vectors.

> e1 :=vector(3,[1,0,0]); e2 :=vector(3,[0,1,0]); e3 :=vector(3,[0,0,1]);

> A := matrix(3,3,[[2,1,0],[1,2,0],[0,0,1/2]]);

This computes a graphic structure for both the original and image parallelopiped.

> gr1 := pargrm_image_3d([e1,e2,e3],A):

The default display is hidden line and not satisfactory - this could be corrected with the
options panel.

> display(gr1);

Or just immediately specify some good options.

> display(gr1,style=wireframe,scaling=constrained, axes=boxed);
