Detailed Description

template<int dim>
class regina::FacetPairing< dim >

Represents the dual graph of a dim-manifold triangulation; that is, the pairwise matching of facets of dim-dimensional simplices.

Given a fixed number of dim-dimensional simplices, each facet of each simplex is either paired with some other simplex facet (which is in turn paired with it) or remains unmatched. A simplex facet cannot be paired with itself.

Such a matching models part of the structure of a dim-manifold triangulation, in which each simplex facet is either glued to some other simplex facet (which is in turn glued to it) or is an unglued boundary facet.

Note that if this pairing is used to construct an actual triangulation, the individual gluing permutations will still need to be specified; they are not a part of this structure.

For dimension 3, this template is specialised and offers more functionality. In order to use this specialised class, you will need to include the corresponding header triangulation/facetpairing3.h.

This class implements C++ move semantics and adheres to the C++ Swappable requirement. It is designed to avoid deep copies wherever possible, even when passing or returning objects by value.

Python
Python does not support templates. Instead this class can be used by appending the dimension as a suffix (e.g., FacetPairing2 and FacetPairing3 for dimensions 2 and 3).
Template Parameters
dimthe dimension of the underlying triangulation. This must be between 2 and 15 inclusive.

◆ FacetPairing() [2/4]

template<int dim>
regina::FacetPairing< dim >::FacetPairing ( FacetPairing< dim > &&  src)
defaultnoexcept

Moves the given facet pairing into this facet pairing.

This is a fast (constant time) operation.

The facet pairing that is passed (src) will no longer be usable.

Parameters
srcthe facet pairing to move.

◆ FacetPairing() [3/4]

template<int dim>
regina::FacetPairing< dim >::FacetPairing ( const Triangulation< dim > &  tri)

trithe triangulation whose facet pairing should be constructed.

◆ FacetPairing() [4/4]

template<int dim>
regina::FacetPairing< dim >::FacetPairing ( std::istream &  in)
inline

Reads a new facet pairing from the given input stream.

This routine reads data in the format written by toTextRep().

This routine will skip any initial whitespace in the given input stream. Once it finds its first non-whitespace character, it will read the entire line from the input stream and expect that line to containin the text representation of a facet pairing.

Exceptions
InvalidInputthe data found in the input stream is invalid, incomplete, or incorrectly formatted.
Python
Not present; instead you can use fromTextRep(), which reads this same text format in string form. The main differences between this constructor and fromTextRep() are: (i) fromTextRep() does not skip over initial whitespace; and (ii) fromTextRep() throws InvalidArgument exceptions on error (not InvalidInput).
Parameters
inthe input stream from which to read.

) const
inherited

◆ findAllPairings()

template<int dim>
template<typename Action , typename... Args>
void regina::detail::FacetPairingBase< dim >::findAllPairings ( size_t  nSimplices,
BoolSet  boundary,
int  nBdryFacets,
Action &&  action,
Args &&...  args 
)
inlinestaticinherited

Generates all possible facet pairings satisfying the given constraints.

Only connected facet pairings (pairings in which each simplex can be reached from each other via a series of individual matched facets) will be produced.

Each facet pairing will be produced precisely once up to isomorphism. Facet pairings are considered isomorphic if they are related by a relabelling of the simplices and/or a renumbering of the (dim + 1) facets of each simplex. Each facet pairing that is generated will be a lexicographically minimal representative of its isomorphism class, i.e., will be in canonical form as described by isCanonical().

For each facet pairing that is generated, this routine will call action (which must be a function or some other callable object).

  • The first argument to action must be a const reference to a FacetPairing<dim>. This will be the facet pairing that was found. If action wishes to keep the facet pairing, it should take a deep copy (not a reference), since the facet pairing may be changed and reused after action returns.
  • The second argument to action must be a FacetPairing<dim>::IsoList (this will be passed by value using move semantics). This will be the list of all automorphisms of the facet pairing that was found.
  • If there are any additional arguments supplied in the list args, then these will be passed as subsequent arguments to action.
  • action must return void.

Because this class cannot represent an empty facet pairing, if the argument nSimplices is zero then no facet pairings will be generated at all.

Todo:

Optimise (long-term): When generating facet pairings, do some checking to eliminate cases in which simplex (k > 0) can be swapped with simplex 0 to produce a smaller representation of the same pairing.

Feature: Allow cancellation of facet pairing generation.

Python
This function is available, and action may be a pure Python function. However, action cannot take any additional arguments beyond the facet pairing and its automorphisms (and therefore the additional args list is omitted here).
Parameters
nSimplicesthe number of simplices whose facets should be (potentially) matched.
boundarydetermines whether any facets may be left unmatched. This set should contain true if pairings with at least one unmatched facet are to be generated, and should contain false if pairings with no unmatched facets are to be generated.
nBdryFacetsspecifies the precise number of facets that should be left unmatched. If this parameter is negative, it is ignored and no additional restriction is imposed. If parameter boundary does not contain true, this parameter is likewise ignored. If parameter boundary does contain true and this parameter is non-negative, only pairings with precisely this many unmatched facets will be generated. In particular, if this parameter is positive then pairings with no unmatched facets will not be produced irrespective of whether false is contained in parameter boundary. Note that, in order to produce any pairings at all, this parameter must be of the same parity as nSimplices * (dim+1), and can be at most (dim-1) * nSimplices + 2.
actiona function (or other callable object) to call for each facet pairing that is found.
argsany additional arguments that should be passed to action, following the initial facet pairing and automorphism arguments.

◆ findAutomorphisms()

template<int dim>
FacetPairingBase< dim >::IsoList regina::detail::FacetPairingBase< dim >::findAutomorphisms
inlineinherited

Returns the set of all combinatorial automorphisms of this facet pairing.

An automorphism is a relabelling of the simplices and/or a renumbering of the (dim + 1) facets of each simplex resulting in precisely the same facet pairing.

This routine uses optimisations that can cause unpredictable breakages if this facet pairing is not in canonical form.

Precondition
This facet pairing is connected, i.e., it is possible to reach any simplex from any other simplex via a series of matched facet pairs.
This facet pairing is in canonical form as described by isCanonical().
Returns
the list of all automorphisms.

◆ fromTextRep()

template<int dim>
static FacetPairing< dim > regina::detail::FacetPairingBase< dim >::fromTextRep ( const std::string &  rep)
staticinherited

Reconstructs a facet pairing from a text-based representation.

This text-based representation must be in the format produced by routine toTextRep().

Exceptions
InvalidArgumentthe given string was not a valid text-based representation of a facet pairing on a positive number of simplices.
Parameters
repa text-based representation of a facet pairing, as produced by routine toTextRep().
Returns
the corresponding facet pairing.

◆ isCanonical()

template<int dim>
bool regina::detail::FacetPairingBase< dim >::isCanonical ( ) const
inherited

Determines whether this facet pairing is in canonical form, i.e., is a lexicographically minimal representative of its isomorphism class.

Isomorphisms of facet pairings correspond to relabellings of simplices and relabellings of the (dim + 1) facets within each simplex.

Facet pairings are ordered by lexicographical comparison of dest(0,0), dest(0,1), ..., dest(size()-1,dim).

Precondition
This facet pairing is connected, i.e., it is possible to reach any simplex from any other simplex via a series of matched facet pairs.
Returns
true if and only if this facet pairing is in canonical form.

◆ isCanonicalInternal()

template<int dim>
bool regina::detail::FacetPairingBase< dim >::isCanonicalInternal ( IsoList list) const
protectedinherited

Determines whether this facet pairing is in canonical (smallest lexicographical) form, given a small set of assumptions.

If this facet pairing is in canonical form, the given list will be filled with the set of all combinatorial automorphisms of this facet pairing. If not, the given list will be left empty.

Precondition
The given list is empty.
For each simplex t, the only case in which dest(t,i) is greater than dest(t,i+1) is where facets (t,i) and (t,i+1) are paired together.
For each simplex t > 0, it is true that dest(t,0).simp < t.
The sequence dest(1,0), dest(2,0), ..., dest(n-1,0) is strictly increasing, where n is the total number of simplices under investigation.
Parameters
listthe list into which automorphisms will be placed if appropriate.
Returns
true if and only if this facet pairing is in canonical form.

template<int dim>
FacetPairing & regina::FacetPairing< dim >::operator= ( const FacetPairing< dim > &  src)
default

◆ 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.

◆ swap()

void regina::detail::FacetPairingBase< dim >::swap ( FacetPairingBase< dim > &  other)
inlinenoexceptinherited

◆ toTextRep()

template<int dim>
std::string regina::detail::FacetPairingBase< dim >::toTextRep ( ) const
inherited

Returns a text-based representation of this facet pairing that can be used to reconstruct the facet pairing.

The text produced is not particularly readable; for a human-readable text representation, see routine str() instead.

The string returned will contain no newlines.

Returns
a text-based representation of this facet pairing.

◆ 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.

◆ writeDot()

template<int dim>
void regina::detail::FacetPairingBase< dim >::writeDot ( std::ostream &  out,
const char *  prefix = nullptr,
bool  subgraph = false,
bool  labels = false 
) const
inherited

Writes the graph corresponding to this facet pairing in the Graphviz DOT language.

Every vertex of this graph represents a simplex, and every edge represents a pair of simplex facets that are joined together. Note that for a closed triangulation this graph will be entirely (dim + 1)-valent; for triangulations with boundary facets, some graph vertices will have degree dim or less.

The graph can either be written as a complete DOT graph, or as a clustered subgraph within some larger DOT graph (according to whether the argument subgraph is passed as false or true).

If a complete DOT graph is being written, the output may be used as a standalone DOT file ready for use with Graphviz.

If a subgraph is being written, the output will contain a single subgraph section that should be inserted into some larger DOT file. Note that the output generated by writeDotHeader(), followed by one or more subgraphs and then a closing curly brace will suffice. The subgraph name will begin with the string pairing_.

The argument prefix will be prepended to the name of each graph vertex, and will also be used in the name of the graph or subgraph. Using unique prefixes becomes important if you are calling writeDot() several times to generate several subgraphs for use in a single DOT file. If the prefix argument is null or empty then a default prefix will be used.

Note that this routine generates undirected graphs, not directed graphs. The final DOT file should be used with either the neato or fdp programs shipped with Graphviz.

Python
Not present; instead use the variant dot() that returns a string.
Parameters
outthe output stream to which to write.
prefixa string to prepend to the name of each graph vertex, and to include in the graph or subgraph name; see above for details.
subgraphfalse if a complete standalone DOT graph should be output, or true if a clustered subgraph should be output for use in some larger DOT file.
labelsindicates whether graph vertices will be labelled with the corresponding simplex numbers. This feature is currently experimental, and the default is false.

◆ writeDotHeader()

template<int dim>
static void regina::detail::FacetPairingBase< dim >::writeDotHeader ( std::ostream &  out,
const char *  graphName = nullptr 
)
staticinherited

Writes header information for a Graphviz DOT file that will describe the graphs for one or more facet pairings.

See the writeDot() documentation for further information on such graphs.

The output will be in the Graphviz DOT language, and will include appropriate display settings for graphs, edges and nodes. The opening brace for a graph section of the DOT file is included.

This routine may be used with writeDot() to generate a single DOT file containing the graphs for several different facet pairings. A complete DOT file can be produced by calling this routine, then calling writeDot() in subgraph mode for each facet pairing, then outputting a final closing curly brace.

Note that if you require a DOT file containing the graph for only a single facet pairing, this routine is unnecessary; you may simply call writeDot() in full graph mode instead.

This routine is suitable for generating undirected graphs, not directed graphs. The final DOT file should be used with either the neato or fdp programs shipped with Graphviz.

Python
Not present; instead use the variant dotHeader() that returns a string.
Parameters
outthe output stream to which to write.
graphNamethe name of the graph in the DOT file. If this is null or empty then a default graph name will be used.

◆ writeTextLong()

void regina::ShortOutput< FacetPairingBase< 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.

Python
Not present; instead you can call detail() from the subclass T, which returns this output as a string.
Parameters
outthe output stream to which to write.

◆ writeTextShort()

template<int dim>
void regina::detail::FacetPairingBase< dim >::writeTextShort ( std::ostream &  out) const
inherited

Writes a human-readable representation of this facet pairing to the given output stream.

The string returned will contain no newlines.

Python
Not present; use str() instead.
Parameters
outthe output stream to which to write.

Member Data Documentation

◆ pairs_

template<int dim>
FacetSpec<dim>* regina::detail::FacetPairingBase< dim >::pairs_
protectedinherited

The other facet to which each simplex facet is paired.

If a simplex facet is left unmatched, the corresponding element of this array will be boundary (as returned by FacetSpec<dim>::isBoundary()). If the destination for a particular facet has not yet been decided, the facet will be paired to itself.

◆ size_

template<int dim>
size_t regina::detail::FacetPairingBase< dim >::size_
protectedinherited

The number of simplices under consideration.
