CGAL::Nef_polyhedron_S2<Traits>::SHalfloop

Definition

A sloop is a great circle on a sphere. A shalfloop is an oriented sloop. It is always paired with a shalfloop whose supporting Sphere_circle is pointing in the opposite direction. The twin() member function returns this shalfloop of opposite orientation. Each Nef_polyhedron_S2 can only have one sloop (resp. two shalfloops).

The figure below depicts the relationship between a shalfloop and sfaces on a sphere map.

Types

The following types are the same as in Nef_polyhedron_S2<Traits>.

Nef_polyhedron_S2<Traits>::SHalfloop::Mark
type of mark.


Nef_polyhedron_S2<Traits>::SHalfloop::Sphere_circle
sphere circle type stored in SHalfloop.


Nef_polyhedron_S2<Traits>::SHalfloop::SHalfloop_const_handle
const handle to SHalfloop.

Nef_polyhedron_S2<Traits>::SHalfloop::SFace_const_handle
const handle to SFace.

Creation

There is no need for a user to create a SHalfloop explicitly. The class Nef_polyhedron_S2<Traits> manages the needed shalfloops internally.

Operations

Mark se.mark () const the mark of se .

Sphere_circle se.circle () const the sphere circle of se .

SHalfloop_const_handle se.twin () const the twin of se .

SFace_const_handle se.incident_sface () const the incident sface of se .
