Definition

A doubly-connected edge-list (DCEL for short) data-structure. It consists of three containers of records: vertices \( V\), halfedges \( E\), and faces \( F\). It maintains the incidence relation among them. The halfedges are ordered in pairs sometimes referred to as twins, such that each halfedge pair represent an edge.

A model of the ArrangementDcel concept must provide the following types and operations. (In addition to the requirements here, the local types Vertex,Halfedge, Face, Outer_ccb, Inner_ccb, and Isolated_vertex must be models of the concepts ArrangementDcelVertex, ArrangementDcelHalfedge, ArrangementDcelFace, ArrangementDcelOuterCcb, ArrangementDcelInnerCcb, and ArrangementDcelIsolatedVertex respectively.)
