		This chapter contains the transcript of a demo session with <Package>simpcomp</Package> that is intended to give an insight into what things can be done with this package.<P/>
		
		Of course this only scratches the surface of the functions provided by <Package>simpcomp</Package>. See Chapters <Ref Chap="chap:polyhedralcomplex"/> through <Ref Chap="chap:misc"/> for further functions provided by <Package>simpcomp</Package>.

			<Heading>Creating a <C>SCSimplicialComplex</C> object</Heading>

Simplicial complex objects can either be created from a facet list (complex <C>c1</C> below), orbit representatives together with a permutation group (complex <C>c2</C>) or difference cycles (complex <C>c3</C>, see Section <Ref Chap="sec:FromScratch"/>), from a function generating triangulations of standard complexes (complex <C>c4</C>, see Section <Ref Chap="sec:Standard"/>) or from a function constructing infinite series for combinatorial (pseudo)manifolds (complexes <C>c5</C>, <C>c6</C>, <C>c7</C>, see Section <Ref Chap="sec:Series"/> and the function prefix <C>SCSeries...</C>). There are also functions creating new simplicial complexes from old, see Section <Ref Chap="sec:generateFromOld" />, which will be described in the next sections.

			<Heading>Working with a <C>SCSimplicialComplex</C> object</Heading>
As described in Section <Ref Sect="sec:AcessSC" /> there are two several ways of accessing an object of type <C>SCSimplicialComplex</C>. An example for the two equivalent ways is given below. The preference will be given to the object oriented notation in this demo session. 

The code listed below

<Log>
gap> c:=SCBdSimplex(3);; # create a simplicial complex object
gap> SCFVector(c);
[ 4, 6, 4 ]
gap> SCSkel(c,0);
[ [ 1 ], [ 2 ], [ 3 ], [ 4 ] ]
</Log>
