Member Function Documentation

◆ barycenter()

template<unsigned int i>
Point LinearCellComplex::barycenter ( Dart_const_handle  dh) const

Returns the barycenter of the i-cell containing dh.

Precondition
1 \( \leq \) i \( \leq \) dimension and *dh \( \in \) darts().

◆ correct_invalid_attributes()

void LinearCellComplex::correct_invalid_attributes ( )

Correct the invalid attributes of the linear cell complex.

We can have invalid attribute either if we have called set_automatic_attributes_management(false) before to use some modification operations or if we have modified the combinatorial map by using low level operations.

The validation process of a linear cell complex validates its generic map (cf. correct_invalid_attributes()), and for each dart d having no vertex attribute, a new vertex attribute is created, with its Point initialized to CGAL::Origin, and all the darts of the 0-cell containing d are linked with the new attribute.

◆ create_dart()

Dart_handle LinearCellComplex::create_dart ( Vertex_attribute_handle  vh)

Creates a new dart in this linear cell complex, sets its associated 0-attribute to vh and returns the corresponding handle.

Precondition
*vh \( \in \) vertex_attributes().

◆ create_vertex_attribute()

template<typename T1 >
Vertex_attribute_handle LinearCellComplex::create_vertex_attribute ( T1  t1)

Creates a new 0-attribute in this linear cell complex, and returns the corresponding handle (a shortcut for create_attribute<0>(t1)).

Calls the constructor of Vertex_attribute having T1 as parameter. Overloads of this member function are defined that take from zero to nine arguments. With zero argument, create_vertex_attribute() creates a new 0-attribute by using the default constructor.

◆ erase_vertex_attribute()

void LinearCellComplex::erase_vertex_attribute ( Vertex_attribute_handle  vh)

Removes the 0-attribute pointed to by vh from this linear cell complex (a shortcut for erase_attribute<0>(vh)).

Precondition
*vh \( \in \) vertex_attributes().

◆ insert_barycenter_in_cell()

template<unsigned int i>
Dart_handle LinearCellComplex::insert_barycenter_in_cell ( Dart_handle  dh)

Inserts a point in the barycenter of the i-cell containing dh.

Returns a handle on one dart of this cell.

Precondition
i \( \leq \) dimension \( \leq \) 2 and *dh \( \in \) darts().

If are_attributes_automatically_managed()==true, if i-attributes are non void, Attribute_type<i>::type::On_split(a,a') is called, with a the original i-attribute associated with dh and a' each new i-attribute created during the operation.

Advanced

If are_attributes_automatically_managed()==false, non void attributes are not updated; thus the combinatorial map can be no more valid after this operation.

◆ insert_dangling_cell_1_in_cell_2()

Dart_handle LinearCellComplex::insert_dangling_cell_1_in_cell_2 ( Dart_handle  dh,
Point  p 
)

Inserts a 1-cell in the 2-cell containing dh, the 1-cell being attached only by one of its vertex to the 0-cell containing dh.

The second vertex is associated with a new 0-attribute containing a copy of p as point. Returns a handle on one dart belonging to the new 0-cell.

Precondition
2 \( \leq \) dimension and *dh \( \in \) darts().

Advanced

If are_attributes_automatically_managed()==false, non void attributes are not updated; thus the combinatorial map can be no more valid after this operation.

◆ insert_point_in_cell()

template<unsigned int i>
Dart_handle LinearCellComplex::insert_point_in_cell ( Dart_handle  dh,
Point  p 
)

Inserts a point, copy of p, in the i-cell containing dh.

Returns a handle on one dart of this cell.

Precondition
i \( \leq \) dimension \( \leq \) 2 and *dh \( \in \) darts().

If are_attributes_automatically_managed()==true, if i-attributes are non void, Attribute_type<i>::type::On_split(a,a') is called, with a the original i-attribute associated with dh and a' each new i-attribute created during the operation.

Advanced

If are_attributes_automatically_managed()==false, non void attributes are not updated; thus the combinatorial map can be no more valid after this operation.

◆ is_valid()

bool LinearCellComplex::is_valid ( ) const

Returns true iff this linear cell complex is valid.

A linear cell complex lcc is valid if it is a valid generic map (cf. GenericMap::is_valid()), and if for each dart handle dh such that *dh \( \in \) darts(): dh->attribute<0>()!=NULL.
