A 3D Nef polyhedron is a subset of the 3-dimensional space that is the result of forming complements and intersections starting from a finite set H of 3-dimensional halfspaces.

Nef polyhedra are closed under all binary set operations, i.e., intersection, union, difference, complement, and under the topological operations boundary, closure, and interior.

A 3D Nef polyhedron can be represented by the local pyramids of the minimal elements of its incidence structure. Without going into to much detail, a local pyramid essentially reflects the topologic and geometric situation at a certain location in a point set. For finite polyhedra the minimal elements of the incidence structure are vertices only. This means, that it suffices to model the topological and geometric situation of the vertices. For 3D Nef polyhedra, the local pyramid of a vertex is represented by a planar Nef polyhedra embedded on a sphere.

A Nef_polyhedron_3 consists of vertices V, a sphere map for each vertex in V, edges E, facets F, volumes C, a mark for every item, and an incidence relation on them. Each edge and each facet is represented by two halfedges or two halffacets, respectively.

Template Parameters

The first parameter requires one of the following exact kernels: Homogeneous, Simple_homogeneous, Extended_homogeneous parametrized with Gmpz, leda_integer or any other number type modeling \(\mathbb{Z}\), or Cartesian, Simple_cartesian, Extended_cartesian parametrized with Gmpq, leda_rational, Quotient<Gmpz> or any other number type modeling \(\mathbb{Q}\).

The second parameter and the third parameter are for future considerations. Neither Nef_polyhedronItems_3 nor Nef_polyhedronMarks is specifed, yet. Do not use any other than the default types for these two template parameters.

explicit

creates a Nef polyhedron, which represents the same point set as the polyhedral surface pm does.

him and fim must be both initialized so that halfedges and faces are indexed in [0, num_halfedges(pm)[ and [0, num_faces(pm)[ respectively. If PolygonMesh has an internal halfedge index map and an internal face index map, the last two parameters can be omitted.

Template Parameters

PolygonMesh	a model of `FaceListGraph` and `VertexListGraph`.
HalfedgeIndexMap	a class model of `ReadablePropertyMap` with `boost::graph_traits<PolygonMesh>::halfedge_descriptor` as key type a value type convertible to `std::size_t`

creates a Nef polyhedron consisting of a single polygon spanned by the list of points in the iterator range [begin,end).

If the points do not lie on a common supporting plane, the constructor tries to triangulate the polygon into multiple facets.If the construction does not succeed, the empty set is created.
