Expand description

An edge of a shape

Equality

Please refer to [crate::kernel::topology] for documentation on the equality of topological objects.

Validation

An edge that is part of a Shape must be structurally sound. That means the curve and any vertices that it refers to, must be part of the same shape.

Fields

curve: Handle<Curve>

Access the curve that defines the edge’s geometry

The edge can be a segment of the curve that is bounded by two vertices, or if the curve is continuous (i.e. connects to itself), the edge could be defined by the whole curve, and have no bounding vertices.

vertices: Option<[Handle<Vertex>; 2]>

Access the vertices that bound the edge on the curve

If there are no such vertices, that means that both the curve and the edge are continuous (i.e. connected to themselves).

Implementation note

Since these vertices bound the edge, they must lie on the curve. This isn’t enforced at all, however. It would make sense to store 1D vertices here, and indeed, this was the case in the past.

It got in the way of some work, however, so it made sense to simplify it by storing 3D vertices. It will probably make sense to revert this and store 1D vertices again, at some point.

Implementations

Build an edge using the EdgeBuilder API

Access the curve that the edge refers to

This is a convenience method that saves the caller from dealing with the Handle.
