D.14.1.3 mat2arr

Usage:

mat2arr(M); matrix (M|b)

Return:

[arr] interprets the rows of the matrix as the defining polynomial equations of the arrangement where the last column will be considered as the constant terms, i.e. if M is an m*(n+1) matrix we have
H_i = Ker( M_i1*x_1 +...+ M_in*x_n + M_i(n+1) ) for i=1...m and A = {H_1,...,H_m} the resulting arrangement.
