CGAL 5.5.5 - 2D Triangulation Data Structure
TriangulationDataStructure_2::Face Concept Reference

Definition

The concept TriangulationDataStructure_2::Face describes the types used to store the faces face class of a TriangulationDataStructure_2. A TriangulationDataStructure_2::Face stores three handles to its three vertices and three handles to its three neighbors. The vertices are indexed 0,1, and 2 in counterclockwise order. The neighbor indexed i lies opposite to vertex i.

In degenerate cases, when the triangulation data structure stores a simplicial complex of dimension 0 and 1, the type TriangulationDataStructure_2::Face is used to store the faces of maximal dimension of the complex, i.e., a vertex in dimension 0, an edge in dimension 1. Only vertices and neighbors with index 0 are set in the first case, only vertices and neighbors with index 0 or 1 are set in the second case.

Types

The class TriangulationDataStructure_2::Face defines the same types as the triangulation data structure except the iterators and the circulators.

Creation

The methods create_face() and delete_face() have to be used to define new faces and to delete no longer used faces.
