A plane partition.

A plane partition is a stack of cubes in the positive orthant.

INPUT:

  • PP – a list of lists which represents a tableau

  • box_size – (optional) a list [A, B, C] of 3 positive integers, where A, B, C are the lengths of the box in the \(x\)-axis, \(y\)-axis, \(z\)-axis, respectively; if this is not given, it is determined by the smallest box bounding PP

OUTPUT:

The plane partition whose tableau representation is PP.

EXAMPLES:

sage: PP = PlanePartition([[4,3,3,1],[2,1,1],[1,1]])
