2D Boolean Operations on Nef Polygons Embedded on the Sphere Reference

#include <CGAL/Nef_polyhedron_S2.h>

Definition

A shalfedge is a great arc on a sphere map.

The figure below depicts the relationship between a shalfedge and its incident shalfedges, svertices, and sfaces on a sphere map. A shalfedge is an oriented sedge between two svertices. It is always paired with a shalfedge pointing in the opposite direction. The twin() member function returns this shalfedge of opposite orientation.

Incidences of an SHalfedge
The snext() member function points to the successor shalfedge around this sface while the sprev() member function points to the preceding shalfedge. An successive assignments of the form se = se->snext() cycles counterclockwise around the sface (or hole).

Similarly, the successive assignments of the form se = se->snext()->twin() cycle clockwise around the svertex and traverse all halfedges incident to this svertex. The assignment se = se->cyclic_adj_succ() can be used as a shortcut.

A const circulator is provided for each of the two circular orders. The circulators are bidirectional and assignable to SHalfedge_const_handle.

Creation

There is no need for a user to create a SHalfedge explicitly. The class Nef_polyhedron_S2<Traits> manages the needed shalfedges internally.
