HalfedgeDSVertex

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 24.3 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.)

HalfedgeDSVertex::Vertex_handle
	handle to vertex.
HalfedgeDSVertex::Halfedge_handle
	handle to halfedge.

Creation

HalfedgeDSVertex v;
	default constructor.

Operations available if Supports_vertex_halfedge ≡ CGAL::Tag_true

Halfedge_handle	v.halfedge ()
Halfedge_const_handle	v.halfedge () const	incident halfedge that points to v.
void	v.set_halfedge ( Halfedge_handle h)
		sets incident halfedge to h.
