HalfedgeDSVertex Concept Reference

Definition

The concept HalfedgeDSVertex defines the requirements for the local Vertex type in the HalfedgeDS concept. It is also required in the Vertex_wrapper<Refs,Traits> member class template of an items class, see the HalfedgeDSItems concept.

A vertex optionally stores a reference to an incident halfedge that points to the vertex. A type tag indicates whether the related member functions are supported. Figure figureHalfedgeDSOptionalMethods depicts the relationship between a halfedge and its incident halfedges, vertices, and faces.

For the protection of the integrity of the data structure classes such as CGAL::Polyhedron_3 are allowed to redefine the modifying member functions to be private. In order to make them accessible for the halfedge data structure they must be derived from a base class Base where the modifying member functions are still public. (The protection could be bypassed by an user, but not by accident.)
