#include <CGAL/Polyhedron_3.h>

Definition

A facet optionally stores a plane equation, and a reference to an incident halfedge that points to the facet.

Type tags indicate whether these member functions are supported. Note that the plane equation is not automatically computed nor maintained and should handled by the user (see Polyhedron/polyhedron_prog_planes.cpp for an example). Figure figurePolyOptionalMethods depicts the relationship between a halfedge and its incident halfedges, vertices, and facets. The circulator is assignable to the Halfedge_handle. The circulator is bidirectional if the halfedge provided to the polyhedron with the Items template argument provides a member function Halfedge::prev(), otherwise it is of the forward category.
