Inherited by CGAL::HalfedgeDS_const_decorator< HDS >, and CGAL::HalfedgeDS_decorator< HDS > [private].

Definition

The class CGAL::HalfedgeDS_items_decorator<HDS> provides additional functions for vertices, halfedges, and faces of a halfedge data structure without knowing the containing halfedge data structure.

The class CGAL::HalfedgeDS_decorator<HDS> stores a reference to the halfedge data structure and provides functions that modify the halfedge data structure, for example Euler-operators. The class CGAL::HalfedgeDS_const_decorator<HDS> stores a const reference to the halfedge data structure. It contains non-modifying functions, for example the test for validness of the data structure.

All these additional functions take care of the different capabilities a halfedge data structure may have or may not have. The functions evaluate the type tags of the halfedge data structure to decide on the actions. If a particular feature is not supported nothing is done. Note that for example the creation of new halfedges is mandatory for all halfedge data structures and will not appear here again.

Example

The following program fragment illustrates how a refined halfedge class for a polyhedron can make use of the find_prev() member function to implement a prev() member function that works regardless of whether the halfedge data structure HDS provides a prev() member function for its halfedges or not. In the case that not, the implementation given here runs in time proportional to the size of the incident face. For const-correctness a second implementation with signature Halfedge_const_handle prev() const; is needed.

Note also the use of the static member function HalfedgeDS::halfedge_handle() of the halfedge data structure. It converts a pointer to the halfedge into a halfedge handle. This conversion encapsulates possible adjustments for hidden data members in the true halfedge type, such as linked-list pointers.

struct Polyhedron_halfedge {
// ...
Halfedge_handle prev() {
CGAL::HalfedgeDS_items_decorator<HDS> decorator;
return decorator.find_prev( HDS::halfedge_handle(this));
}
};

Member Function Documentation

◆ find_prev()

template<typename HDS>
Halfedge_handle CGAL::HalfedgeDS_items_decorator< HDS >::find_prev ( Halfedge_handle  h)

returns the previous halfedge of h.

Uses the prev() method if supported or performs a search around the face using next().

◆ find_prev_around_vertex()

template<typename HDS>
Halfedge_handle CGAL::HalfedgeDS_items_decorator< HDS >::find_prev_around_vertex ( Halfedge_handle  h)

returns the previous halfedge of h.

Uses the prev() method if supported or performs a search around the vertex using next().

◆ flip_edge()

template<typename HDS>
Halfedge_handle CGAL::HalfedgeDS_items_decorator< HDS >::flip_edge ( Halfedge_handle  h) const

performs an edge flip.

It returns h after rotating the edge h one vertex in the direction of the face orientation.

Precondition
h != Halfedge_handle() and both incident faces of h are triangles.

◆ insert_halfedge()

template<typename HDS>
void CGAL::HalfedgeDS_items_decorator< HDS >::insert_halfedge ( Halfedge_handle  h,
