Detailed Description

Represents a connected component of a 4-manifold triangulation.

This is a specialisation of the generic Component class template; see the Component documentation for an overview of how this class works.

This 4-dimensional specialisation contains some extra functionality. In particular, each 4-dimensional component also stores details on lower-dimensional faces (i.e., vertices, edges, triangles and tetrahedra).

Components do not support value semantics: they cannot be copied, swapped, or manually constructed. Their location in memory defines them, and they are often passed and compared by pointer. End users are never responsible for their memory management; this is all taken care of by the Triangulation to which they belong.

Member Function Documentation

◆ boundaryComponent()

BoundaryComponent< dim > * regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::boundaryComponent ( size_t index ) const

inlineinherited

Returns the boundary component at the given index in this component.

Note that the index of a boundary component within this component may not be the same as its index within the overall triangulation.

Parameters

index specifies which boundary component to return; this should be between 0 and countBoundaryComponents()-1 inclusive.

Returns: the requested boundary component.

◆ boundaryComponents()

auto regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::boundaryComponents

inlineinherited

Returns an object that allows iteration through and random access to all boundary components in this component.

The object that is returned is lightweight, and can be happily copied by value. The C++ type of the object is subject to change, so C++ users should use auto (just like this declaration does).

The returned object is guaranteed to be an instance of ListView, which means it offers basic container-like functions and supports C++11 range-based for loops. Note that the elements of the list will be pointers, so your code might look like:

for (BoundaryComponent<dim>* bc : comp.boundaryComponents()) { ... }

The object that is returned will remain valid only for as long as this component object exists. In particular, the object will become invalid any time that the triangulation changes (since all component objects will be destroyed and others rebuilt in their place). Therefore it is best to treat this object as temporary only, and to call boundaryComponents() again each time you need it.

Returns: access to the list of all boundary components.

◆ countBoundaryComponents()

size_t regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::countBoundaryComponents

inlineinherited

Returns the number of boundary components in this component.

Returns: the number of boundary components.

◆ countBoundaryFacets()

size_t regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::countBoundaryFacets

inlineinherited

Returns the number of boundary facets in this component.

A boundary facet is a (dim-1)-dimensional facet of a top-dimensional simplex that is not joined to any adjacent simplex.

This routine runs in constant time (since the result is computed in advance, when the component is first created).

Returns: the total number of boundary facets.

◆ countBoundaryTetrahedra()

size_t regina::Component< 4 >::countBoundaryTetrahedra ( ) const

inline

A dimension-specific alias for countBoundaryFacets().

See countBoundaryFacets() for further information.

◆ countEdges()

size_t regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::countEdges

inlineinherited

A dimension-specific alias for countFaces<1>().

This alias is available only when dim is one of Regina's standard dimensions.

See countFaces() for further information.

◆ countFaces()

template<int subdim>

size_t regina::Component< 4 >::countFaces ( ) const

Returns the number of subdim-faces in this component.

For convenience, this routine explicitly supports the case subdim = 4. This is not the case for the routines face() and faces(), which give access to individual faces (the reason relates to the fact that pentachora are built manually, whereas lower-dimensional faces are deduced properties).

Python: Python does not support templates. Instead, Python users should call this function in the form countFaces(subdim); that is, the template parameter subdim becomes the first argument of the function.

Template Parameters

subdim the face dimension; this must be between 0 and 4 inclusive.

Returns: the number of subdim-faces.

◆ countPentachora()

size_t regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::countPentachora

inlineinherited

A dimension-specific alias for countFaces<4>().

This alias is available only when dim is one of Regina's standard dimensions and dim ≥ 4.

See countFaces() for further information.

◆ countTetrahedra()

size_t regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::countTetrahedra

inlineinherited

A dimension-specific alias for countFaces<3>().

This alias is available only when dim is one of Regina's standard dimensions and dim ≥ 3.

See countFaces() for further information.

◆ countTriangles()

size_t regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::countTriangles

inlineinherited

A dimension-specific alias for countFaces<2>().

This alias is available only when dim is one of Regina's standard dimensions.

See countFaces() for further information.

◆ countVertices()

size_t regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::countVertices

inlineinherited

A dimension-specific alias for countFaces<0>().

This alias is available only when dim is one of Regina's standard dimensions.

See countFaces() for further information.

◆ detail()

template<class T , bool supportsUtf8 = false>

std::string regina::Output< T, supportsUtf8 >::detail ( ) const

inherited

Returns a detailed text representation of this object.

This text may span many lines, and should provide the user with all the information they could want. It should be human-readable, should not contain extremely long lines (which cause problems for users reading the output in a terminal), and should end with a final newline. There are no restrictions on the underlying character set.

Returns: a detailed text representation of this object.

◆ edge()

Face< dim, 1 > * regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::edge ( size_t index ) const

inlineinherited

A dimension-specific alias for face<1>().

This alias is available only when dim is one of Regina's standard dimensions.

See face() for further information.

◆ edges()

auto regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::edges

inlineinherited

A dimension-specific alias for faces<1>().

This alias is available only when dim is one of Regina's standard dimensions.

See faces() for further information.

◆ face()

template<int subdim>

Face< 4, subdim > * regina::Component< 4 >::face ( size_t index ) const

Returns the requested subdim-face in this component.

Note that the index of a face in the component need not be the index of the same face in the overall triangulation.

Python: Python does not support templates. Instead, Python users should call this function in the form face(subdim, index); that is, the template parameter subdim becomes the first argument of the function.

Template Parameters

subdim the face dimension; this must be between 0 and 3 inclusive.

Parameters

index the index of the desired face, ranging from 0 to countFaces<subdim>()-1 inclusive.

Returns: the requested face.

◆ faces()

template<int subdim>

auto regina::Component< 4 >::faces ( ) const

Returns an object that allows iteration through and random access to all subdim-faces in this component.

The object that is returned is lightweight, and can be happily copied by value. The C++ type of the object is subject to change, so C++ users should use auto (just like this declaration does).

The returned object is guaranteed to be an instance of ListView, which means it offers basic container-like functions and supports C++11 range-based for loops. Note that the elements of the list will be pointers, so your code might look like:

for (Face<dim, subdim>* f : comp.faces<subdim>()) { ... }

The object that is returned will remain valid only for as long as this component object exists. In particular, the object will become invalid any time that the triangulation changes (since all component objects will be destroyed and others rebuilt in their place). Therefore it is best to treat this object as temporary only, and to call faces() again each time you need it.

Python: Python does not support templates. Instead, Python users should call this function in the form faces(subdim).

Template Parameters

subdim the face dimension; this must be between 0 and 3 inclusive.

Returns: access to the list of all subdim-faces.

◆ hasBoundaryFacets()

bool regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::hasBoundaryFacets

inlineinherited

Determines if this component has any boundary facets.

This routine returns true if and only if this component contains some top-dimensional simplex with at least one facet that is not glued to an adjacent simplex.

Returns: true if and only if this component has boundary facet(s).

◆ hasBoundaryTetrahedra()

bool regina::Component< 4 >::hasBoundaryTetrahedra ( ) const

inline

A dimension-specific alias for hasBoundaryFacets().

See hasBoundaryFacets() for further information.

◆ index()

size_t regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::index

inlineinherited

Returns the index of this component within the underlying triangulation.

Returns: the index of this component.

◆ isClosed()

bool regina::Component< 4 >::isClosed ( ) const

inline

Determines if this component is closed.

This is the case if and only if it has no boundary.

Note that ideal components are not closed. Likewise, components with invalid vertices are not closed. See Vertex<4>::isBoundary() for details.

Returns: true if and only if this component is closed.

◆ isIdeal()

bool regina::Component< 4 >::isIdeal ( ) const

inline

Determines if this component is ideal.

This is the case if and only if it contains an ideal vertex as described by Vertex<4>::isIdeal().

Returns: true if and only if this component is ideal.

◆ isOrientable()

bool regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::isOrientable

inlineinherited

Determines if this component is orientable.

This routine runs in constant time (since orientability is determined in advance, when the component is first created).

Returns: true if and only if this component is orientable.

◆ isValid()

bool regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::isValid

inlineinherited

Determines if this component is valid.

This uses the same criteria as Triangulation<dim>::isValid(); see the Triangulation<dim>::isValid() documentation for details.

As with Triangulation<dim>, this tests for bad self-identifications in all dimensions, but only tests for bad links in Regina's standard dimensions.

Returns: true if and only if this component is valid.

◆ markedIndex()

size_t regina::MarkedElement::markedIndex ( ) const

inlineinherited

Returns the index at which this object is stored in an MarkedVector.

If this object does not belong to an MarkedVector, the return value is undefined.

Returns: the index at which this object is stored.

◆ pentachora()

auto regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::pentachora

inlineinherited

A dimension-specific alias for faces<4>(), or an alias for simplices() in dimension dim = 4.

This alias is available only when dim is one of Regina's standard dimensions and dim ≥ 4.

See faces() for further information.

◆ pentachoron()

Face< dim, 4 > * regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::pentachoron ( size_t index ) const

inlineinherited

A dimension-specific alias for face<4>().

This alias is available only when dim is one of Regina's standard dimensions and dim ≥ 4.

See face() for further information.

◆ simplex()

Simplex< dim > * regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::simplex ( size_t index ) const

inlineinherited

Returns the top-dimensional simplex at the given index in this component.

Note that the index within this component may not be the same as the index within the overall triangulation.

Parameters

index specifies which simplex to return; this value should be between 0 and size()-1 inclusive.

Returns: the indexth top-dimensional simplex.

◆ simplices()

auto regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::simplices

inlineinherited

Returns an object that allows iteration through and random access to all top-dimensional simplices in this component.

The object that is returned is lightweight, and can be happily copied by value. The C++ type of the object is subject to change, so C++ users should use auto (just like this declaration does).

The returned object is guaranteed to be an instance of ListView, which means it offers basic container-like functions and supports C++11 range-based for loops. Note that the elements of the list will be pointers, so your code might look like:

for (Simplex<dim>* s : comp.simplices()) { ... }

The object that is returned will remain valid only for as long as this component object exists. In particular, the object will become invalid any time that the triangulation changes (since all component objects will be destroyed and others rebuilt in their place). Therefore it is best to treat this object as temporary only, and to call simplices() again each time you need it.

Returns: access to the list of all top-dimensional simplices.

◆ size()

size_t regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::size

inlineinherited

Returns the number of top-dimensional simplices in this component.

Returns: The number of top-dimensional simplices.

◆ str()

template<class T , bool supportsUtf8 = false>

std::string regina::Output< T, supportsUtf8 >::str ( ) const

inherited

Returns a short text representation of this object.

This text should be human-readable, should use plain ASCII characters where possible, and should not contain any newlines.

Within these limits, this short text ouptut should be as information-rich as possible, since in most cases this forms the basis for the Python str() and repr() functions.

Python: The Python "stringification" function str() will use precisely this function, and for most classes the Python repr() function will incorporate this into its output.

Returns: a short text representation of this object.

◆ tetrahedra()

auto regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::tetrahedra

inlineinherited

A dimension-specific alias for faces<3>(), or an alias for simplices() in dimension dim = 3.

This alias is available only when dim is one of Regina's standard dimensions and dim ≥ 3.

See faces() for further information.

◆ tetrahedron()

Face< dim, 3 > * regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::tetrahedron ( size_t index ) const

inlineinherited

A dimension-specific alias for face<3>().

This alias is available only when dim is one of Regina's standard dimensions and dim ≥ 3.

See face() for further information.

◆ triangle()

Face< dim, 2 > * regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::triangle ( size_t index ) const

inlineinherited

A dimension-specific alias for face<2>().

This alias is available only when dim is one of Regina's standard dimensions.

See face() for further information.

◆ triangles()

auto regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::triangles

inlineinherited

A dimension-specific alias for faces<2>(), or an alias for simplices() in dimension dim = 2.

This alias is available only when dim is one of Regina's standard dimensions.

See faces() for further information.

◆ utf8()

template<class T , bool supportsUtf8 = false>

std::string regina::Output< T, supportsUtf8 >::utf8 ( ) const

inherited

Returns a short text representation of this object using unicode characters.

Like str(), this text should be human-readable, should not contain any newlines, and (within these constraints) should be as information-rich as is reasonable.

Unlike str(), this function may use unicode characters to make the output more pleasant to read. The string that is returned will be encoded in UTF-8.

Returns: a short text representation of this object.

◆ vertex()

Face< dim, 0 > * regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::vertex ( size_t index ) const

inlineinherited

A dimension-specific alias for face<0>().

This alias is available only when dim is one of Regina's standard dimensions.

See face() for further information.

◆ vertices()

auto regina::detail::ComponentBase< dim >::vertices

inlineinherited

A dimension-specific alias for faces<0>().

This alias is available only when dim is one of Regina's standard dimensions.

See faces() for further information.

◆ writeTextLong()

void regina::ShortOutput< ComponentBase< dim > , false >::writeTextLong ( std::ostream & out ) const

inlineinherited

A default implementation for detailed output.

This routine simply calls T::writeTextShort() and appends a final newline.
