Description

A spantaut element stores whether or not any angle structure in the parent list is a taut angle structure. Because taut structures always appear as vertices of the angle structure solution space, this is equivalent to knowing whether any convex combination of the angle structures in the parent list is a taut angle structure.

A taut angle structure contains only angles 0 and π.

This element is identical to the old (and now deprecated) element allowtaut.
