## Definition

template<typename Traits>
class CGAL::Nef_polyhedron_S2< Traits >::SHalfedge

A shalfedge is a great arc on a sphere map.

The figure below depicts the relationship between a shalfedge and its incident shalfedges, svertices, and sfaces on a sphere map. A shalfedge is an oriented sedge between two svertices. It is always paired with a shalfedge pointing in the opposite direction. The `twin()` member function returns this shalfedge of opposite orientation.

Incidences of an SHalfedge

The `snext()` member function points to the successor shalfedge around this sface while the `sprev()` member function points to the preceding shalfedge. An successive assignments of the form `se = se->snext()` cycles counterclockwise around the sface (or hole).

Similarly, the successive assignments of the form `se = se->snext()->twin()` cycle clockwise around the svertex and traverse all halfedges incident to this svertex. The assignment `se = se->cyclic_adj_succ()` can be used as a shortcut.

A const circulator is provided for each of the two circular orders. The circulators are bidirectional and assignable to `SHalfedge_const_handle`.

Creation

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