◆ is_sewable()

template<unsigned int i>
bool CombinatorialMap::is_sewable ( Dart_const_descriptor  d1,
Dart_const_descriptor  d2 
) const

Returns true iff d1 can be i-sewn with d2 by keeping the generic map valid.

This is true if there is a bijection f between all the darts of the orbit D1= \( \langle{}\) \( \beta_1\), \( \ldots\), \( \beta_{i-2}\), \( \beta_{i+2}\), \( \ldots\), \( \beta_d\) \( \rangle{}\)(d1) and D2= \( \langle{}\) \( \beta_1\), \( \ldots\), \( \beta_{i-2}\), \( \beta_{i+2}\), \( \ldots\), \( \beta_d\) \( \rangle{}\)(d2) satisfying:

  • \( \forall \) e \( \in\) D1, \( \forall \) j \( \in\) {1, \( \ldots\),i-2,i+2, \( \ldots\),d}, f( \( \beta_j\)(e))= \( \beta_j^{-1}\)(f(e)).
Precondition
0 \( \leq \) i \( \leq \) dimension, d1 \( \in \) darts(), and d2 \( \in \) darts().

◆ is_valid()

bool CombinatorialMap::is_valid ( ) const

Returns true iff the combinatorial map is valid.

A combinatorial map is valid (see Sections Mathematical Definitions and Combinatorial Map Properties) if for all its darts d \( \in\) darts():

  • d is 0-free, or \( \beta_1(\beta_0(d))=d\);
  • d is 1-free, or \( \beta_0(\beta_1(d))=d\);
  • \( \forall\)i, 2 \( \leq \) i \( \leq \) dimension: d is i-free, or \( \beta_i(\beta_i(d))=d\);
  • \( \forall\)i, \( \forall\) j, such that 0 \( \leq\) i \( \leq\) dimension-2 and i+2 \( \leq\) j \( \leq\) dimension: \( \beta_j(\beta_i(d))=\varnothing\) or ; \( \beta_j(\beta_i(\beta_j(\beta_i(d))))=d\);
  • \( \forall\)i, 0 \( \leq\) i \( \leq\) dimension such that i-attributes are non void:
    • \( \forall\)d2 in the same i-cell than d: d and d2 have the same i-attribute;
    • \( \forall\)d2 in a different i-cell than d: d and d2 have different i-attributes.

◆ link_beta()

template<unsigned int i>
void CombinatorialMap::link_beta ( Dart_descriptor  d1,
Dart_descriptor  d2 
)

Links d1 and d2 by \( \beta_i\).

The combinatorial map can be no longer valid after this operation. If are_attributes_automatically_managed()==true, non void attributes of d1 and d2 are updated: if one dart has an attribute and the second dart not, the non null attribute is associated to the dart having a null attribute. If both darts have an attribute, the attribute of d1 is associated to d2.

Precondition
0 \( \leq\) i \( \leq\) dimension, d1 \( \in\) darts(), d2 \( \in\) darts() and (i \( <\) 2 or d1 \( \neq\)d2).

◆ opposite() [1/2]

Dart_const_descriptor CombinatorialMap::opposite ( Dart_const_descriptor  d) const

Returns a const descriptor to a dart belonging to the same edge than dart d, and not to the same vertex, when the dart is const.

null_descriptor if such a dart does not exist.

◆ opposite() [2/2]

Dart_descriptor CombinatorialMap::opposite ( Dart_descriptor  d)

Returns a descriptor to a dart belonging to the same edge than dart d, and not to the same vertex.

null_descriptor if such a dart does not exist.

◆ sew()

template<unsigned int i>
void CombinatorialMap::sew ( Dart_descriptor  d1,
Dart_descriptor  d2 
)

i-sew darts d1 and d2, by keeping the generic map valid.

Links by \( \beta_i \) two by two all the darts of the orbit D1= \( \langle{}\) \( \beta_1\), \( \ldots\), \( \beta_{i-2}\), \( \beta_{i+2}\), \( \ldots\), \( \beta_d\) \( \rangle{}\)(d1) and D2= \( \langle{}\) \( \beta_0\), \( \beta_2\), \( \ldots\), \( \beta_{i-2}\), \( \beta_{i+2}\), \( \ldots\), \( \beta_d\) \( \rangle{}\)(d2) such that d2=f(d1), where f is the bijection between D1 and D2 satisfying: f(d1)=d2, and for all e \( \in \) D1, for all j \( \in \) {1, \( \ldots\),i-2,i+2, \( \ldots\),d}, f( \( \beta_j\)(e))= \( \beta_j^{-1}\)(f(e)).

If are_attributes_automatically_managed()==true, when necessary, non void attributes are updated to ensure the validity of the generic map: for each j-cells c1 and c2 which are merged into one j-cell during the sew, the two associated attributes attr1 and attr2 are considered. If one attribute is null_descriptor and the other not, the non null_descriptor attribute is associated to all the darts of the resulting cell. When the two attributes are non null_descriptor, functor Attribute_type<i>::type::On_merge is called on the two attributes attr1 and attr2. If set, the dynamic onmerge function of i-attributes is also called on attr1 and attr2. Then, the attribute attr1 is associated to all darts of the resulting j-cell. Finally, attribute attr2 is removed from the generic map.

Precondition
is_sewable<i>(d1,d2).
Advanced

If are_attributes_automatically_managed()==false, non void attributes are not updated; thus the generic map can be no more valid after this operation.

◆ unlink_beta()

template<unsigned int i>
void CombinatorialMap::unlink_beta ( Dart_descriptor  d)

Unlinks d and \( \beta_i\)(d) by \( \beta_i\).

The combinatorial map can be no longer valid after this operation. Attributes of d and \( \beta_i\)(d) are not modified.

Precondition
0 \( \leq\) i \( \leq\) dimension, d \( \in\) darts(), and d is not i-free.

◆ unsew()

template<unsigned int i>
void CombinatorialMap::unsew ( Dart_descriptor  d)

i-unsew darts d and opposite<i>(d), by keeping the generic map valid.

Unlinks by \( \beta_i\) all the darts in the orbit \( \langle{}\) \( \beta_1\), \( \ldots\), \( \beta_{i-2}\), \( \beta_{i+2}\), \( \ldots\), \( \beta_d\) \( \rangle{}\)(d).

If are_attributes_automatically_managed()==true, when necessary, non void attributes are updated to ensure the validity of the generic map: for each j-cell c split in two j-cells c1 and c2 by the operation, if c is associated to a j-attribute attr1, then this attribute is duplicated into attr2, and all the darts belonging to c2 are associated with this new attribute. Finally, the functor Attribute_type<i>::type::On_split is called on the two attributes attr1 and attr2. If set, the dynamic onsplit function of i-attributes is also called on attr1 and attr2.

Precondition
0 \( \leq \) i \( \leq \) dimension, d \( \in \) darts() and d is not i-free.
Advanced

If are_attributes_automatically_managed()==false, non void attributes are not updated thus the generic map can be no more valid after this operation.
