CGAL 5.6 - Halfedge Data Structures
HalfedgeDSItems Concept Reference

Definition

The concept HalfedgeDSItems wraps the three item types - vertex, halfedge, and face - for a halfedge data structure. A HalfedgeDSItems contains three member class templates named Vertex_wrapper, Halfedge_wrapper, and Face_wrapper, each with two template parameters, Refs and Traits. Refs requires an instantiated halfedge data structure HalfedgeDS as argument, Traits is a geometric traits class supplied by the class that uses the halfedge data structure as internal representation. Traits is not used by the halfedge data structure itself. These three member class templates provide a local type named Vertex, Halfedge, and Face respectively. The requirements on these types are described on the manual pages of the concepts HalfedgeDSVertex, HalfedgeDSHalfedge, and HalfedgeDSFace respectively.

Example

The following example shows the canonical implementation of the CGAL::HalfedgeDS_min_items class. It uses the base classes for the item types that are provided in the library.

struct HalfedgeDS_min_items {
template < class Refs, class Traits>
struct Vertex_wrapper {
};
template < class Refs, class Traits>
struct Halfedge_wrapper {
};
template < class Refs, class Traits>
struct Face_wrapper {
};
};

See CGAL::HalfedgeDS_items_2 for an example implementation.
