TriangulationDataStructure_3::Cell Concept Reference
Reference Manual » Concepts

## Definition

The concept `TriangulationDataStructure_3::Cell` stores four `Vertex_handle`s to its four vertices and four `Cell_handle`s to its four neighbors. The vertices are indexed 0, 1, 2, and 3 in consistent order. The neighbor indexed \( i\) lies opposite to vertex `i`.

In degenerate dimensions, cells are used to store faces of maximal dimension: in dimension 2, each cell represents only one facet of index 3, and 3 edges \( (0,1)\), \( (1,2)\) and \( (2,0)\); in dimension 1, each cell represents one edge \( (0,1)\). (See also Section Representation.)

Creation

In order to obtain new cells or destruct unused cells, the user must call the `create_cell()` and `delete_cell()` methods of the triangulation data structure.
