    Let \(L\) be a \(k\)-dimensional lattice, and \(S\) be a sphere in \(R^k\), where no lattice point lies in the interior of the ball bounded by \(S\), but \(S\) is completely determined by the lattice points lying on it. Then \(\text{conv} (S \cap L)\) is said to be an \(L\)-polytope (or Delone polytope) with respect to \(L\). The authors give a construction providing sets of equiangular lines from integral lattices, and conditions are derived when a set of equiangular lines with only one pillar determines an \(L\)-polytope of an integral lattice. In addition, several examples of \(L\)-polytopes, which are related to sets of equiangular lines, are given.
