Description
A simplices element stores the entire set of top-dimensional
simplices that form a dim-dimensional
triangulation, for dimensions
5 ≤ dim ≤ 15.
The total number of simplices must be specified by the
size attribute. The individual simplices are
numbered 0, 1, 2, etc., and their facet gluings are described by the
corresponding child simplex elements. There must be precisely
size child simplex elements in total.
Note
The simplices element is only for use in higher dimensions
5 ≤ dim ≤ 15.
For the smaller dimensions 2, 3 and 4, the specialised tags
triangles, tetrahedra and pentachora
should be used instead.
Attributes
sizeThe total number of top-dimensional simplices in this set. Note that there must be precisely this many child
simplexelements.
Example
The following XML snippet represents a 6-dimensional triangulation of the product B5×S1, formed from two 6-simplices.
<simplices size="2"> <simplex> 1 14038087 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 1 2054353 </simplex> <simplex> 0 14038087 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 0 2054353 </simplex> </simplices>
