 LinPy Examples
 ==============
 
-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')
     >>> # define the constraints of the polyhedron
     >>> square1 = Le(0, x) & Le(x, 2) & Le(0, y) & Le(y, 2)
-    >>> print(square1)
+    >>> square1
     And(Ge(x, 0), Ge(-x + 2, 0), Ge(y, 0), Ge(-y + 2, 0))
 
-Urnary Operations
------------------
+    Binary operations and properties examples:
 
-    >>> square1.isempty()
+    >>> square2 = Le(1, x) & Le(x, 3) & Le(1, y) & Le(y, 3)
+    >>> #test equality
+    >>> square1 == square2
+    False
+    >>> # compute the union of two polyhedrons
+    >>> square1 | square2
+    Or(And(Ge(x, 0), Ge(-x + 2, 0), Ge(y, 0), Ge(-y + 2, 0)), \
+    And(Ge(x - 1, 0), Ge(-x + 3, 0), Ge(y - 1, 0), Ge(-y + 3, 0)))
+    >>> # check if square1 and square2 are disjoint
+    >>> square1.disjoint(square2)
     False
-    >>> square1.isbounded()
-    True
+    >>> # compute the intersection of two polyhedrons
+    >>> square1 & square2
+    And(Ge(x - 1, 0), Ge(-x + 2, 0), Ge(y - 1, 0), Ge(-y + 2, 0))
+    >>> # compute the convex union of two polyhedrons
+    >>> Polyhedron(square1 | sqaure2)
+    And(Ge(x, 0), Ge(y, 0), Ge(-y + 3, 0), Ge(-x + 3, 0), \
+    Ge(x - y + 2, 0), Ge(-x + y + 2, 0))
 
-Binary Operations
------------------
+    Unary operation and properties examples:
 
-     >>> square2 = Le(2, x) & Le(x, 4) & Le(2, y) & Le(y, 4)
-     >>> square1 + square2
-     Or(And(Ge(x, 0), Ge(-x + 2, 0), Ge(y, 0), Ge(-y + 2, 0)), And(Ge(x - 2, 0), Ge(-x + 4, 0), Ge(y - 2, 0), Ge(-y + 4, 0)))
-     >>> # check if square1 and square2 are disjoint
-     >>> square1.disjoint(square2)
-     False
+    >>> square1.isempty()
+    False
+    >>> square1.symbols()
+    (x, y)
+    >>> square1.inequalities
+    (x, -x + 2, y, -y + 2)
+    >>> # project out the variable x
+    >>> square1.project([x])
+    And(Ge(-y + 2, 0), Ge(y, 0))
