-Creating a Polyhedron
------------------
-    To create any polyhedron, first define the symbols used. Then use the polyhedron functions to define the constraints for the polyhedron. This example creates a square.
+Basic Examples

+    To create any polyhedron, first define the symbols used. Then use the polyhedron functions to define the constraints. The following is a simple running example illustrating some different operations and properties that can be performed by LinPy with two squares.

 
     >>> from linpy import *
     >>> x, y = symbols('x y')
 
     >>> from linpy import *
     >>> x, y = symbols('x y')
