GUARANTEEING THE 2-MANIFOLD PROPERTY FOR MESHES WITH DOUBLY LINKED FACE LIST
Ergün Akleman, Jianer Chen · International Journal of Shape Modeling · 1999
Meshes, which generalize polyhedra by using non-planar faces, are the most commonly used objects in computer graphics. Modeling 2-dimensional manifold meshes with a simple user interface is an important problem in computer graphics and computer aided geometric design. In this paper, we propose a conceptual framework to model meshes. Our framework guarantees topologically correct 2-dimensional manifolds and provides a new user interface paradigm for mesh modeling systems.
