isDegenerate X
A $d$-dimensional normal toric variety is degenerate if its rays do not span $\QQ^d$. For example, projective spaces and Hirzebruch surfaces are not degenerate.

Although one typically works with non-degenerate toric varieties, not all normal toric varieties are non-degenerate.

Many routines in this package, such as the total coordinate ring, require the normal toric variety to be non-degenerate.
