CGAL 4.5.1 - 3D Polyhedral Surface
|
#include <CGAL/Polyhedron_3.h>
A halfedge is an oriented edge between two vertices.
It is always paired with a halfedge pointing in the opposite direction. The Halfedge::opposite()
member function returns this halfedge of opposite orientation. If a halfedge is incident to a facet the Halfedge::next()
member function points to the successor halfedge around this facet. For border edges the Halfedge::next()
member function points to the successor halfedge along the hole. For more than two border edges at a vertex, the next halfedge along a hole is not uniquely defined, but a consistent assignment of the next halfedge will be maintained in the data structure. An invariant is that successive assignments of the form h = h->next()
cycle counterclockwise around the facet (or hole) and traverse all halfedges incident to this facet (or hole). A similar invariant is that successive assignments of the form h = h->next()->opposite()
cycle clockwise around the vertex and traverse all halfedges incident to this vertex. Two circulators are provided for these circular orders.
Vertex
, Halfedge
, and Facet
of the polyhedral surface. Member functions with shaded background are mandatory. The others are optionally supported.The incidences encoded in Halfedge::opposite()
and Halfedge::next()
are available for each instantiation of polyhedral surfaces. The other incidences are optionally available as indicated with type tags. The Halfedge::prev()
member function points to the preceding halfedge around the same facet. It is always available, though it might perform a search around the facet using the Halfedge::next()
member function to find the previous halfedge if the underlying halfedge data structure does not provide an efficient Halfedge::prev()
member function for halfedges. Handles to the incident vertex and facet are optionally stored.
The circulators are assignable to the Halfedge_handle
. The circulators are bidirectional if the halfedge provided to the polyhedron with the Items
template argument provides a member function Halfedge::prev()
, otherwise they are of the forward category.

Implementation
The member functions Halfedge::prev()
and Halfedge::prev_on_vertex()
work in constant time if Supports_halfedge_prev
\( \equiv\) CGAL::Tag_true
. Otherwise both methods search for the previous halfedge around the incident facet.
