ParameterizationMesh_3

Definition

ParameterizationMesh_3 is a concept for a 3D surface mesh. Its main purpose is to allow the parameterization methods to access meshes in a uniform manner.

A ParameterizationMesh_3 surface consists of vertices, facets and an incidence relation on them. No notion of edge is requested. Vertices represent points in 3d-space. Facets are planar polygons without holes defined by the circular sequence of vertices along their border. The surface itself can have holes. The vertices along the border of a hole are called border vertices. A surface is closed if it contains no border vertices.

The surface must be an oriented 2-manifold with border vertices, i.e. the neighborhood of each point on the surface is either homeomorphic to a disc or to a half disc, except for vertices where many holes and surfaces with border can join.

ParameterizationMesh_3 defines the types, data and methods that a mesh must implement to allow surface parameterization. Among other things, this concept defines accessors to fields specific to parameterizations methods: index, u, v, is_parameterized.

ParameterizationMesh_3 meshes can have any genus, arity or number of components. On the other hand, as parameterization methods deal only with topological disks, ParameterizationMesh_3 defines an interface oriented towards topological disks.

Design Pattern

ParameterizationMesh_3 is an Adaptor [GHJV95]: it changes the interface of a 3D mesh to match the interface expected by the parameterization methods.

Types

The following mutable handles, iterators, and circulators have appropriate non-mutable counterparts, i.e. const_handle, const_iterator, and const_circulator. The mutable types are assignable to their non-mutable counterparts. Both circulators are assignable to the Vertex_iterator. The iterators are assignable to the respective handle types. Wherever the handles appear in function parameter lists, the corresponding iterators can be used as well.
