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 the implementation of the Euler operator split_vertex() for a simplified polyhedron class.

template <class Traits> 
namespace CGAL { 
  class Polyhedron { 
    typedef HalfedgeDS_default<Traits> HDS; 
    HDS hds; 
  public: 
    // ... 
    Halfedge_handle split_vertex( Halfedge_handle h, Halfedge_handle g) { 
      HalfedgeDS_decorator<HDS> D(hds); 
      // Stricter preconditions than for HalfedgeDS only. 
      CGAL_precondition( D.get_vertex(h) == D.get_vertex(g)); 
      CGAL_precondition( h != g); 
      return D.split_vertex( h, g); 
    } 
  }; 
}

Modifying Functions (Euler Operators)
The following Euler operations modify consistently the combinatorial structure of the halfedge data structure. The geometry remains unchanged. Note that well known graph operations are also captured with these Euler operators, for example an edge contraction is equal to a `join_vertex()` operation, or an edge removal to `join_face()`. Given a halfedge data structure `hds` and a halfedge handle `h` four special applications of the Euler operators are worth mentioning: `split_vertex(h,h)` results in an antenna emanating from the tip of `h`; `split_vertex(h,h->next()->opposite())` results in an edge split of the halfedge `h->next` with a new vertex in-between; `split_face(h,h)` results in a loop directly following `h`; and `split_face(h,h->next())` results in a bridge parallel to the halfedge `h->next` with a new face in-between.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename HDS >

Halfedge_handle CGAL::HalfedgeDS_decorator< HDS >::add_face_to_border	(	Halfedge_handle	h,
		Halfedge_handle	g
	)

extends the surface with a new face from hds into the hole incident to h and g.

It creates a new edge connecting the vertex denoted by g with the vertex denoted by h and fills this separated part of the hole with a new face, such that the new face is incident to g. Returns the new halfedge that is incident to the new face.

Precondition: h != Halfedge_handle(), g != Halfedge_handle(), h->is_border(), g->is_border() and g can be reached along the hole starting with h.

template<typename HDS >

Halfedge_handle CGAL::HalfedgeDS_decorator< HDS >::add_face_to_border	(	Halfedge_handle	h,
		Halfedge_handle	g,
		const Face &	f
	)

extends the surface with a copy of face f into the hole incident to h and g.

It creates a new edge connecting the tip of g with the tip of h and fills this separated part of the hole with a copy of face f, such that the new face is incident to g. Returns the new halfedge that is incident to the new face.

Precondition: h != Halfedge_handle(), g != Halfedge_handle(), h->is_border(), g->is_border() and g can be reached along the hole starting with h.

template<typename HDS >

Halfedge_handle CGAL::HalfedgeDS_decorator< HDS >::create_center_vertex ( Halfedge_handle h)

barycentric triangulation of h->face().

Creates a new vertex, a copy of h->vertex(), and connects it to each vertex incident to h->face() splitting h->face() into triangles. h remains incident to the original face, all other triangles are copies of this face. Returns the halfedge h->next() after the operation, i.e., a halfedge pointing to the new vertex. The time is proportional to the size of the face.

Precondition: h is not a border halfedge.

template<typename HDS >

Halfedge_handle CGAL::HalfedgeDS_decorator< HDS >::erase_center_vertex ( Halfedge_handle g)

reverses create_center_vertex.

Erases the vertex pointed to by g and all incident halfedges thereby merging all incident faces. Only g->face() remains. The neighborhood of g->vertex() may not be triangulated, it can have larger faces. Returns the halfedge g->prev(). Thus, the invariant h == erase_center_vertex( create_center_vertex(h)) holds if h is not a border halfedge. The time is proportional to the sum of the size of all incident faces.

Precondition: None of the incident faces of g->vertex() is a hole. There are at least two distinct faces incident to the faces that are incident to g->vertex(). (This prevents the operation from collapsing a volume into two faces glued together with opposite orientations, such as would happen with any vertex of a tetrahedron.)

Supports_removal must be CGAL::Tag_true.

template<typename HDS >

void CGAL::HalfedgeDS_decorator< HDS >::erase_connected_component ( Halfedge_handle h)

If this creates isolated vertices they get removed as well. See make_hole() for a more specialized variant.

Precondition: h->is_border() == false.

If faces are supported, Supports_removalmust be CGAL::Tag_true.

template<typename HDS >

Halfedge_handle CGAL::HalfedgeDS_decorator< HDS >::join_face ( Halfedge_handle h)

joins the two faces incident to h.

The face incident to h->opposite() gets removed from hds. Both faces might be holes. Returns the predecessor of h around the face. The invariant join_face( split_face( h, g)) returns h and keeps the data structure unchanged. The time is proportional to the size of the face removed and the time to compute h->prev().

Supports_removal must be CGAL::Tag_true.

template<typename HDS >

Halfedge_handle CGAL::HalfedgeDS_decorator< HDS >::join_loop	(	Halfedge_handle	h,

joins the two vertices incident to h.

The vertex denoted by h->opposite() gets removed by hds. Returns the predecessor of h around the vertex, i.e., h->opposite()->prev(). The invariant join_vertex( split_vertex( h, g)) returns h and keeps the polyhedron unchanged. The time is proportional to the degree of the vertex removed and the time to compute h->prev() and h->opposite()->prev().

Supports_removal must be CGAL::Tag_true.

template<typename HDS >

unsigned int CGAL::HalfedgeDS_decorator< HDS >::keep_largest_connected_components ( unsigned int nb_components_to_keep)

Erases the small connected components and the isolated vertices.

template<typename HDS >

void CGAL::HalfedgeDS_decorator< HDS >::make_hole ( Halfedge_handle h)

template<typename HDS >

Halfedge_handle CGAL::HalfedgeDS_decorator< HDS >::split_face	(	Halfedge_handle	h,
		Halfedge_handle	g
	)

splits the face incident to h and g into two faces with a new diagonal between the two vertices denoted by h and g respectively.

The second (new) face obtained from hds is a copy of the first face. Returns h->next() after the operation, i.e., the new diagonal. The new face is to the right of the new diagonal, the old face is to the left. The time is proportional to the distance from h to g around the face.

template<typename HDS >

Halfedge_handle CGAL::HalfedgeDS_decorator< HDS >::split_loop	(	Halfedge_handle	h,
		Halfedge_handle	i,
		Halfedge_handle	j
	)

cuts the halfedge data structure into two parts along the cycle (h,i,j).

Three new vertices (one copy for each vertex in the cycle) and three new halfedges (one copy for each halfedge in the cycle), and two new triangles are created. h,i,j will be incident to the first new triangle. The return value will be the halfedge incident to the second new triangle which is the copy of h-opposite().

Precondition: h,i,j denote distinct, consecutive vertices of the halfedge data structure and form a cycle: i.e., h->vertex() == i->opposite()->vertex(), \(\ldots\) , j->vertex() == h->opposite()->vertex().

template<typename HDS >

Halfedge_handle CGAL::HalfedgeDS_decorator< HDS >::split_vertex	(	Halfedge_handle	h,
