CGAL 5.5.2 - 3D Triangulation Data Structure
TriangulationDataStructure_3::Cell Concept Reference

Definition

The concept TriangulationDataStructure_3::Cell stores four Vertex_handles to its four vertices and four Cell_handles to its four neighbors. The vertices are indexed 0, 1, 2, and 3 in consistent order. The neighbor indexed \( i\) lies opposite to vertex i.

In degenerate dimensions, cells are used to store faces of maximal dimension: in dimension 2, each cell represents only one facet of index 3, and 3 edges \( (0,1)\), \( (1,2)\) and \( (2,0)\); in dimension 1, each cell represents one edge \( (0,1)\). (See also Section Representation.)

Creation

In order to obtain new cells or destruct unused cells, the user must call the create_cell() and delete_cell() methods of the triangulation data structure.
