## Definition

The concept `GenericMap` defines a d-dimensional generic map. This concept is defined only to factorize the common notions between `CombinatorialMap` and `GeneralizedMap` concepts.

Refines
  `DefaultConstructible`

A generic map has a set of darts D, and functions \( f_0\), \( \ldots\), \( f_{d}\) that link these darts between them.

Has models
  `CGAL::Combinatorial_map<d,Items,Alloc>`
  `CGAL::Generalized_map<d,Items,Alloc>`

- if there exists a dart `d2` in the same i-cell than `d` with a different i-attribute, then the i-attribute of `d2` is set to the i-attribute of `d`;
- if there exists a dart `d2` in a different i-cell than `d` with the same i-attribute, then the i-attribute of all the darts in i-cell(`d`) is set to a new i-attribute (copy of the original attribute);
- ensures that `dart_of_attribute(d)` \( \in \) i-cell(`d`).

  `d` \( \in \) `darts()`, 0 \( \leq \) i \( \leq \) dim+1, 0 \( \leq \) j \( \leq \) dim+1 and 0 \( \leq \) dim \( \leq \) `dimension`.

## ◆ onmerge_function() [1/2]

template<int i>

boost::function< void(typename Attribute_type< i >::type &, typename Attribute_type< i >::type &)> & GenericMap::onmerge_function | ( |  | ) |

Return the current dynamic on-merge function associated with i-attributes.

This is a boost::function returning void and having two references to `Attribute_type<i>::type` as parameters. The on-merge function is returned by reference so that we can modify it.

template<int i>

boost::function< void(typename Attribute_type< i >::type &, typename Attribute_type< i >::type &)> & GenericMap::onsplit_function | ( |  | ) |

Return the current dynamic on-split function associated with i-attributes.

This is a boost::function returning void and having two references to `Attribute_type<i>::type` as parameters. The on-split function is returned by reference so that we can modify it.

## ◆ onsplit_function() [2/2]

template<int i>

const boost::function< void(typename Attribute_type< i >::type &, typename Attribute_type< i >::type &)> & GenericMap::onsplit_function | ( |  | ) | const

Return the current dynamic on-split function associated with i-attributes, when *this is const.

This is a boost::function returning void and having two references to `Attribute_type<i>::type` as parameters.

## ◆ operator=()

GenericMap & GenericMap::operator= | ( | const GenericMap & | bmap | ) |

Assignment operator.

All darts and attributes are duplicated, and the former generic map is deleted.

## ◆ opposite() [1/2]

template<unsigned int i>

Dart_const_descriptor GenericMap::opposite | ( | Dart_const_descriptor | d | ) | const

Returns a const descriptor to a dart belonging to the opposite i-cell than `d`.

This dart does not belong to the same 0-cell than `d`, nor to the same i-cell, but belongs to the same i-cell than `d`for each j, 2 \( \leq \) j \( \leq \) `dimension`, j \( \neq \) i.

Precondition
  2 \( \leq \) i \( \leq \) `dimension`.

## ◆ opposite() [2/2]

template<unsigned int i>

Dart_descriptor GenericMap::opposite | ( | Dart_descriptor | d | ) |

Returns a descriptor to a dart belonging to the opposite i-cell than `d`.

This dart does not belong to the same 0-cell than `d`, nor to the same i-cell, but belongs to the same i-cell than `d`for each j, 2 \( \leq \) j \( \leq \) `dimension`, j \( \neq \) i.

Precondition
  2 \( \leq \) i \( \leq \) `dimension`.

## ◆ other_extremity() [1/2]

Dart_const_descriptor GenericMap::other_extremity | ( | Dart_const_descriptor | d | ) | const

Returns a const descriptor to a dart belonging to the other vertex of the edge containing dart `d`, when the dart is const (but not necessarily to the same edge).

`null_descriptor` if such a dart does not exist.

## ◆ other_extremity() [2/2]

Dart_descriptor GenericMap::other_extremity | ( | Dart_descriptor | d | ) |

Returns a descriptor to a dart belonging to the other vertex of the edge containing dart `d` (but not necessarily to the same edge).

`null_descriptor` if such a dart does not exist.

## ◆ remove_cell()

template<unsigned int i>

size_type GenericMap::remove_cell | ( | Dart_descriptor | d | ) |

Removes the i-cell containing `d`.

Returns the number of darts removed from the generic map.

Precondition
  `is_removable<i>`(`d`).

See examples in Figure 30.11, Figure 30.13 and Figure 30.14.

If `are_attributes_automatically_managed()``==true`, if `i` \( < \) `dimension`, and i+1-attributes are non `void`, and if there are two distinct (i+1)-cells around dart `d`, `Attribute_type<i+1>::type::On_merge`(a1,a2) is called, with a1 the (i+1)-attribute associated to `d`, and a2 the (i+1)-attribute associated to \( \beta_{i+1}\)(d). If set, the dynamic on-merge function of i+1-attributes is also called on a1 and a2.

If `are_attributes_automatically_managed()``==true`, if a j-cell is disconnected in two j-cells during the operation, and if j-attributes are non void, `Attribute_type<j>::type::On_split`(a,a') is called with a the original j-attribute and a' the new j-attribute created due to the disconnection. If set, the dynamic on-split function of j-attributes is also called on a and a'.

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.

## ◆ set_attribute()

template<unsigned int i>

void GenericMap::set_attribute | ( | Dart_descriptor | d,
|  | Attribute_descriptor< i >::type | a
| ) |  |

Associates the i-attribute of all the darts of the i-cell containing `d` to `a`.

Precondition
  `d` \( \in \) `darts()`, 0 \( \leq \) i \( \leq \) `dimension`, i-attributes are non void, and `*ah` \( \in \) `attributes<i>()`.

## ◆ set_automatic_attributes_management()

void GenericMap::set_automatic_attributes_management | ( | bool | update_attributes | ) |

Set the status of the management of the attributes of the generic map.

Advanced

After calling `set_automatic_attributes_management(false)`, all high level operations will not update non void attributes, until the call of `set_automatic_attributes_management(true)`. The call of `set_automatic_attributes_management(true)` call the `correct_invalid_attributes()` function.

## ◆ swap()

void GenericMap::swap | ( | GenericMap & | bmap | ) |

Swap the current generic map with `bmap`.

There is no copy of darts and attributes thus this method runs in constant time.

## ◆ unmark()

void GenericMap::unmark | ( | Dart_const_descriptor | d,
|  | size_type | m
| ) |  | const

Unmarks dart `d` for the mark `m`.

Precondition

## ◆ unmark_all()

void GenericMap::unmark_all | ( | size_type | m | ) | const

Unmarks all the darts of the generic map for `m`.

Precondition
  `is_reserved`(`m`).

## Member Data Documentation

## ◆ null_descriptor

unspecified_type GenericMap::null_descriptor
| static

A null descriptor.

This descriptor is not valid and should not be used to access a dart or an attribute.
