TriangulationDataStructure_2::Face Concept Reference

Definition

The concept TriangulationDataStructure_2::Face describes the types used to store the faces face class of a TriangulationDataStructure_2. A TriangulationDataStructure_2::Face stores three handles to its three vertices and three handles to its three neighbors. The vertices are indexed 0,1, and 2 in counterclockwise order. The neighbor indexed i lies opposite to vertex i.

In degenerate cases, when the triangulation data structure stores a simplicial complex of dimension 0 and 1, the type TriangulationDataStructure_2::Face is used to store the faces of maximal dimension of the complex, i.e., a vertex in dimension 0, an edge in dimension 1. Only vertices and neighbors with index 0 are set in the first case, only vertices and neighbors with index 0 or 1 are set in the second case.

Types

The class TriangulationDataStructure_2::Face defines the same types as the triangulation data structure except the iterators and the circulators.

Creation

The methods create_face() and delete_face() have to be used to define new faces and to delete no longer used faces.

Vertex Access Functions
Vertex_handle	vertex (int i) const
	returns the vertex i of the face.
int	index (Vertex_handle v) const
	returns the index of vertex v in the face.
bool	has_vertex (Vertex_handle v) const
	returns true if v is a vertex of the face.
bool	has_vertex (Vertex_handle v, int &i) const
	returns true if v is a vertex of the face, and computes the index i of v in the face.

Neighbor Access Functions
The neighbor with index i is the neighbor which is opposite to the vertex with index i.
Face_handle	neighbor (int i) const
	returns the neighbor i of the face.
int	index (Face_handle n) const
	returns the index of face n.
bool	has_neighbor (Face_handle n) const
	returns true if n is a neighbor of the face.
bool	has_neighbor (Face_handle n, int &i) const
	returns true if n is a neighbor of the face, and compute the index i of n.

Setting
void	set_vertex (int i, Vertex_handle v)
	sets vertex i to be v.
void	set_neighbor (int i, Face_handle n)
	sets neighbor i to be n.

	sets the vertex handles.
void	set_neighbors ()
	sets the neighbors handles to Face_handle().
void	set_neighbors (Face_handle n0, Face_handle n1, Face_handle n2)
	sets the neighbors handles.

Checking
bool	is_valid () const
	returns true if the function is_valid() of the base class returns true and if, for each index \( i\), \( 0 \le i < 3\), the face is a neighbor of its neighboring face neighbor(i) and shares with this neighbor the vertices cw(i) and ccw(i) in correct reverse order.

Miscellaneous
int	ccw (int i) const
	Returns \( i+1\) modulo 3, with \( 0\leq i \leq2\).
int	cw (int i) const
	Returns \( i+2\) modulo 3, with \( 0\leq i \leq2\).
std::istream &	operator>> (std::istream &is, TriangulationDataStructure_2::Face &f)
	Inputs any non combinatorial information possibly stored in the face.
std::ostream &	operator<< (std::ostream &os, const TriangulationDataStructure_2::Face &f)
	Outputs any non combinatorial information possibly stored in the face.
