## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename CMap >

CombinatorialMap::CombinatorialMap | ( | const CMap & | cmap) |  |

Construct a new combinatorial map from another one.

The new combinatorial map is created by copying the darts and the non void attributes of cmap. CMap must be a model of `CombinatorialMap` concept, which can be defined with a different dimension and/or different attributes than `*this`. In this case, only permutations that are common to `cmap` and `*this`, and only non void i-attributes of `cmap` whose info type is the same to the info of non void i-attributes of `*this`, are copied.

## Member Function Documentation

Dart_handle CombinatorialMap::beta | ( | Dart_handle | dh,
|  | int | i,
|  | int | j
| ) |  |

Overloads of this member function are defined that take from one to nine integer as arguments. For each function, betas are applied in the same order as their indices are given as parameters.

For example `beta(dh,1)`= \( \beta_1\)(`*dh`), and `beta(dh,1,2,3,0)`= \( \beta_0\)( \( \beta_3\)( \( \beta_2\)( \( \beta_1\)(`*dh`)))).

void CombinatorialMap::correct_invalid_attributes | ( | ) |  |

Correct the invalid attributes of the combinatorial map.

We can have invalid attribute either if we have called `set_automatic_attributes_management(false)` before to use some modification operations or if we have modified the combinatorial map by using low level operations.

\( \forall i \), 0 \( \leq \) i \( \leq \) dimension such that the i-attributes are non void, \( \forall \) d \( \in\)`darts()`:

- 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`).

template<unsigned int i, typename T1 >

Attribute_handle<i>::type CombinatorialMap::create_attribute | ( | T1 | t1) |  |

Creates a new i-attribute in the combinatorial map, and returns the corresponding handle.

template<typename T1 >

Dart_handle CombinatorialMap::create_dart | ( | T1 | t1) |  |

Creates a new dart in the combinatorial map, and returns the corresponding handle.

Calls the constructor of dart having `T1` as parameter. A new dart is initialized to be i-free, \( \forall\)i: 0 \( \leq\)i \( \leq\)dimension, and to have no associated attribute for each non void attribute. Overloads of this member function are defined that take from zero to nine arguments. With zero argument, `create_dart()` creates a new dart by using the default constructor.

Dart_const_handle CombinatorialMap::opposite | ( | Dart_const_handle | dh) |  | const

Returns a const handle to a dart belonging to the same edge than dart `*dh`, and not to the same vertex, when the dart is const.

Dart_handle CombinatorialMap::other_extremity | ( | Dart_handle | dh) |  |

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

Set the status of the managment of the attributes of the combinatorial 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.

template<unsigned int i>

void CombinatorialMap::sew | ( | Dart_handle | dh1,
|  | Dart_handle | dh2
| ) |  |

i-sew darts `*dh1` and `*dh2`, by keeping the combinatorial map valid.

Links by \( \beta_i\) two by two all the darts of the orbit D1= \( \langle{}\) \( \beta_1\), \( \ldots\), \( \beta_{i-2}\), \( \beta_{i+2}\), \( \ldots\), \( \beta_d\) \( \rangle{}\)(`*dh1`) and D2= \( \langle{}\) \( \beta_0\), \( \beta_2\), \( \ldots\), \( \beta_{i-2}\), \( \beta_{i+2}\), \( \ldots\), \( \beta_d\) \( \rangle{}\)(`*dh2`) such that d2=f(d1).

f is the bijection between D1 and D2 satisfying: f(*dh1)=*dh2, 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 combinatorial 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 and the other not, the non NULL attribute is associated to all the darts of the resulting cell. When the two attributes are non NULL, 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 combinatorial map.

Precondition
  is_sewable<i>(dh1,dh2).

Advanced

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

Unlinks by \( \beta_i\) all the darts in the orbit \( \langle{}\) \( \beta_1\), \( \ldots\), \( \beta_{i-2}\), \( \beta_{i+2}\), \( \ldots\), \( \beta_d\) \( \rangle{}\)(`*dh`). If `are_attributes_automatically_managed()``==true`, when necessary, non void attributes are updated to ensure the validity of the combinatorial 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, `*dh` \( \in\)`darts()` and `*dh` is not i-free.

Advanced

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

Dart_handle CombinatorialMap::null_dart_handle

Deprecated:
  null dart handle is no longer static since CGAL 4.4. You can define the `CGAL_CMAP_DEPRECATED` macro to keep the old behavior.
