CGAL::Triangulation_data_structure_2<Vb,Fb>

Definition

The class Triangulation_data_structure_2<Vb,Fb> is a model for the TriangulationDataStructure_2 concept. It can be used to represent an orientable 2D triangulation embedded in a space of any dimension.

Modifiers

In addition to the modifiers required by the TriangulationDataStructure_2 concept, the Triangulation_data_structure_2<Vb,Fb> class supports also the modifiers below. Note also that the modifiers below guarantee the combinatorial validity of the resulting data structure.

Vertex_handle	tds.join_vertices ( Face_handle f, int i)
		Joins the vertices that are endpoints of the edge (f,i). It returns a vertex handle to common vertex (see Fig. 21.5). Precondition: f must be different from Face_handle() and i must be 0, 1 or 2.
Vertex_handle	tds.join_vertices ( Edge e)
		Joins the vertices that are endpoints of the edge e. It returns a vertex handle to common vertex.
Vertex_handle	tds.join_vertices ( Edge_iterator eit)
		Joins the vertices that are endpoints of the edge *eit. It returns a vertex handle to common vertex.
Vertex_handle	tds.join_vertices ( Edges_circulator ec)
		Joins the vertices that are endpoints of the edge *ec. It returns a vertex handle to common vertex.
boost::tuples::tuple<Vertex_handle, Vertex_handle, Face_handle, Face_handle>
	tds.split_vertex ( Vertex_handle v, Face_handle f1, Face_handle f2)
		Splits the vertex v into two vertices v1 and v2. The common faces f and g of v1 and v2 are created after (in the counter-clockwise sense) the faces f1 and f2. The 4-tuple (v1,v2,f,g) is returned (see Fig. 21.5). Precondition: dimension() must be equal to 2, f1 and f2 must be different from Face_handle() and v must be a vertex of both f1 and f2.
Vertex_handle	tds.insert_degree_2 ( Face_handle f, int i)
		Inserts a degree two vertex and two faces adjacent to it that have two common edges. The edge defined by the face handle f and the integer i is duplicated. It returns a handle to the vertex created (see Fig. 21.5).
void	tds.remove_degree_2 ( Vertex_handle v)
		Removes a degree 2 vertex and the two faces adjacent to it. The two edges of the star of v that are not incident to it are collapsed (see Fig. 21.5). Precondition: The degree of v must be equal to 2.
