-To create a polyhedron, the user must use the folloing functions to define  equalities and inequalities as the contraints.
+To create a polyhedron, the user can use the following functions to define  equalities and inequalities as the constraints.

 
 .. py:function:: Eq(left, right)
 
 
 .. py:function:: Eq(left, right)
 

-   Create a constraint by setting *left* equal to *right*.
+   Returns a Polyhedron instance with a single constraint as *left* equal to *right*.

 
 .. py:function:: Ne(left, right)
 
 
 .. py:function:: Ne(left, right)
 

-    Create a constraint by setting *left* not equal to *right*.
+   Returns a Polyhedron instance with a single constraint as *left* not equal to *right*.

 
 .. py:function:: Lt(left, right)
 
 
 .. py:function:: Lt(left, right)
 

-   Create a constraint by setting *left* less than *right*.
+   Returns a Polyhedron instance with a single constraint as *left* less than *right*.

 
 .. py:function:: Le(left, right)
 
 
 .. py:function:: Le(left, right)
 

-   Create a constraint by setting *left* less than or equal to *right*.
