Detailed Description

template<int dim, int subdim>
class regina::FaceNumbering< dim, subdim >

Specifies how subdim-faces are numbered within a dim-dimensional simplex.

Regina uses the following general scheme for numbering faces:

Every class Face<dim, subdim> inherits from this class, which means you can access these routines as Face<dim, subdim>::ordering(), Face<dim, subdim>::faceNumber(), and so on.

An advantage of referring to FaceNumbering<dim, subdim> directly (as opposed to Face<dim, subdim>) is that its header is lightweight: it does not pull in the large and complex headers required by Face<dim, subdim>.

This class is specialised (and optimised) in Regina's standard dimensions.

Python
This class is not available in Python. However, all of its routines can be accessed through Face<dim, subdim> (which in Python becomes Facedim_subdim, or one of the type aliases such as Vertex3, Edge2 and so on).
Template Parameters
dimthe dimension of the simplex whose faces we are numbering. This must be between 1 and 15 inclusive.
subdimthe dimension of the faces that we are numbering. This must be between 0 and dim-1 inclusive.

Member Function Documentation

◆ containsVertex()

template<int dim, int subdim>
static constexpr bool regina::detail::FaceNumberingAPI< dim, subdim >::containsVertex ( int  face,
int  vertex 
)
staticconstexprinherited

Tests whether the given subdim-face of a dim-dimensional simplex contains the given vertex of the simplex.

Parameters
facea subdim-face number in a dim-simplex; this must be between 0 and (dim+1 choose subdim+1)-1 inclusive.
vertexa vertex number in a dim-simplex; this must be between 0 and dim inclusive.
Returns
true if and only if the given subdim-face contains the given vertex.

◆ faceNumber()

template<int dim, int subdim>
static constexpr int regina::detail::FaceNumberingAPI< dim, subdim >::faceNumber ( Perm< dim+1 >  vertices)
staticconstexprinherited

Identifies which subdim-face in a dim-dimensional simplex is represented by the first (subdim + 1) elements of the given permutation.

In other words, this routine identifies which subdim-face number within a dim-dimensional simplex spans vertices vertices[0, ..., subdim].

Parameters
verticesa permutation whose first (subdim + 1) elements represent some vertex numbers in a dim-simplex.
Returns
the corresponding subdim-face number in the dim-simplex. This will be between 0 and (dim+1 choose subdim+1)-1 inclusive.

◆ ordering()

template<int dim, int subdim>
static constexpr Perm< dim+1 > regina::detail::FaceNumberingAPI< dim, subdim >::ordering ( int  face)
staticconstexprinherited

Given a subdim-face number within a dim-dimensional simplex, returns the corresponding canonical ordering of the simplex vertices.

If this canonical ordering is c, then c[0,...,subdim] will be the vertices of the given face in increasing numerical order. That is, c[0] < ... < c[subdim]. The remaining images c[(subdim + 1),...,dim] will be ordered arbitrarily.

Note that this is not the same permutation as returned by Simplex<dim>::faceMapping<subdim>():

  • ordering() is a static function, which returns the same permutation for the same face number, regardless of which dim-simplex we are looking at. The images of 0,...,subdim will always appear in increasing order, and the images of (subdim + 1),...,dim will be arbitrary.
  • faceMapping() examines the underlying face F of the triangulation and, across all appearances of F in different dim-simplices: (i) chooses the images of 0,...,subdim to map to the same respective vertices of F; and (ii) chooses the images of (subdim + 1),...,dim to maintain a "consistent orientation" constraint.
Parameters
faceidentifies which subdim-face of a dim-dimensional simplex to query. This must be between 0 and (dim+1 choose subdim+1)-1 inclusive.
Returns
the corresponding canonical ordering of the simplex vertices.
