CGAL 5.6.1 - Triangulated Surface Mesh Simplification
CGAL::Surface_mesh_simplification::Edge_profile< TriangleMesh, VertexPointMap, GeomTraits > Class Template Reference

#include <CGAL/Surface_mesh_simplification/Policies/Edge_collapse/Edge_profile.h>

Definition

The class Edge_profile regroups useful information about an edge, such as its incident vertices and faces.

Its purpose is to pass this information onto the chosen models of GetCost and GetPlacement, and as such an object of this type appears as a parameter in the operator() of both concepts.

The template parameters of this class must be consistent with the types used in the main call to edge_collapse(): if you have specified a vertex point map or a geometric traits (via CGAL::parameters::vertex_point_map() and CGAL::parameters::geom_traits() respectively), then the template parameters must be identical.

Note however that if you wish to define your own models of the GetCost or GetPlacement concepts, you can simply template the call to operator() by an "EdgeProfile" template parameter, which will avoid having to explicit the template parameters of the Edge_profile class: indeed, the profile appears as an argument of the operator() functions of these two concepts and automatic template deduction can therefore be used.

Template Parameters
TriangleMeshis the type of surface mesh being simplified
VertexPointMapis the type of the map that associates geometric positions to vertices of the mesh. If you have specified a vertex point map in the named parameters in the call to edge_collapse(), it must the same map type. Otherwise, you need not specify this template parameter and it will be automatically deduced.
GeomTraitsis the type of the kernel that is used to perform predicates and constructions on geometric objects. If you have specified a traits class in the named parameters in the call to edge_collapse(), it must be the same traits class type. Otherwise, you need not specify this template parameter and it will be automatically deduced.

template<typename TriangleMesh , typename VertexPointMap , typename GeomTraits >
std::vector<vertex_descriptor> CGAL::Surface_mesh_simplification::Edge_profile< TriangleMesh, VertexPointMap, GeomTraits >::link ( ) const

The unique sequence of the vertices around v0v1 in topological order (ccw or cw depending on the relative ordering of v0 and v1 in the profile).

The sequence may have duplicates, but when this happens the edge is not collapsible.
