Detailed Description

Represents a snapped 3-ball in a triangulation.

A snapped 3-ball is a single tetrahedron with two faces glued to each other to form a 3-ball with a two triangle boundary.

All optional NStandardTriangulation routines are implemented for this class.

Member Function Documentation

NSnappedBall* regina::NSnappedBall::clone ( ) const

Returns a newly created clone of this structure.

Returns
a newly created clone.
std::string regina::ShareableObject::detail ( ) const
inherited

Returns the output from writeTextLong() as a string.

Returns
a long text representation of this object.
static NSnappedBall* regina::NSnappedBall::formsSnappedBall ( NTetrahedron tet)
static

Determines if the given tetrahedron forms a snapped 3-ball within a triangulation.

The ball need not be the entire triangulation; the boundary triangles may be glued to something else (or to each other).

Note that the two boundary triangles of the snapped 3-ball need not be boundary triangles within the overall triangulation, i.e., they may be identified with each other or with triangles of other tetrahedra.

Parameters
tetthe tetrahedron to examine as a potential 3-ball.
Returns
a newly created structure containing details of the snapped 3-ball, or null if the given tetrahedron is not a snapped 3-ball.
int regina::NSnappedBall::getBoundaryFace ( int  index) const
inline

Returns one of the two tetrahedron faces that forms the boundary of this snapped ball.

You are guaranteed that index 0 will return a smaller face number than index 1.

Parameters
indexspecifies which of the two boundary faces to return; this must be either 0 or 1.
Returns
the corresponding face number in the tetrahedron.
int regina::NSnappedBall::getEquatorEdge ( ) const
inline

Returns the edge that forms the equator of the boundary sphere of this ball.

Returns
the corresponding edge number in the tetrahedron.
NAbelianGroup* regina::NSnappedBall::getHomologyH1 ( ) const
virtual

Returns the expected first homology group of this triangulation, if such a routine has been implemented.

If the calculation of homology has not yet been implemented for this triangulation then this routine will return 0.

This routine does not work by calling NTriangulation::getHomologyH1() on the associated real triangulation. Instead the homology is calculated directly from the known properties of this standard triangulation.

The details of which standard triangulations have homology calculation routines can be found in the notes for the corresponding subclasses of NStandardTriangulation. The default implementation of this routine returns 0.

The homology group will be newly allocated and must be destroyed by the caller of this routine.

If this NStandardTriangulation describes an entire NTriangulation (and not just a part thereof) then the results of this routine should be identical to the homology group obtained by calling NTriangulation::getHomologyH1() upon the associated real triangulation.

Returns
the first homology group of this triangulation, or 0 if the appropriate calculation routine has not yet been implemented.

Reimplemented from regina::NStandardTriangulation.

int regina::NSnappedBall::getInternalEdge ( ) const
inline

Returns the edge internal to this snapped ball.

Returns
the corresponding edge number in the tetrahedron.
int regina::NSnappedBall::getInternalFace ( int  index) const
inline

Returns one of the two tetrahedron faces internal to this snapped ball.

You are guaranteed that index 0 will return a smaller face number than index 1.

Parameters
indexspecifies which of the two internal faces to return; this must be either 0 or 1.
Returns
the corresponding face number in the tetrahedron.
NManifold* regina::NSnappedBall::getManifold ( ) const
virtual

Returns the 3-manifold represented by this triangulation, if such a recognition routine has been implemented.

If the 3-manifold cannot be recognised then this routine will return 0.

The details of which standard triangulations have 3-manifold recognition routines can be found in the notes for the corresponding subclasses of NStandardTriangulation. The default implementation of this routine returns 0.

It is expected that the number of triangulations whose underlying 3-manifolds can be recognised will grow between releases.

The 3-manifold will be newly allocated and must be destroyed by the caller of this routine.

Returns
the underlying 3-manifold.

Reimplemented from regina::NStandardTriangulation.

std::string regina::NStandardTriangulation::getName ( ) const
inherited

Returns the name of this specific triangulation as a human-readable string.

Returns
the name of this triangulation.
NTetrahedron * regina::NSnappedBall::getTetrahedron ( ) const
inline

Returns the tetrahedron that forms this snapped ball.

Returns
the tetrahedron.
std::string regina::NStandardTriangulation::getTeXName ( ) const
inherited

Returns the name of this specific triangulation in TeX format.

No leading or trailing dollar signs will be included.

Warning
The behaviour of this routine has changed as of Regina 4.3; in earlier versions, leading and trailing dollar signs were provided.
Returns
the name of this triangulation in TeX format.
static NStandardTriangulation* regina::NStandardTriangulation::isStandardTriangulation ( NComponent component)
staticinherited

Determines whether the given component represents one of the standard triangulations understood by Regina.

The list of recognised triangulations is expected to grow between releases.

If the standard triangulation returned has boundary triangles then the given component must have the same corresponding boundary triangles, i.e., the component cannot have any further identifications of these boundary triangles with each other.

Note that the triangulation-based routine isStandardTriangulation(NTriangulation*) may recognise more triangulations than this routine, since passing an entire triangulation allows access to more information.

Parameters
componentthe triangulation component under examination.
Returns
the details of the standard triangulation if the given component is recognised, or 0 otherwise.
static NStandardTriangulation* regina::NStandardTriangulation::isStandardTriangulation ( NTriangulation tri)
staticinherited

Determines whether the given triangulation represents one of the standard triangulations understood by Regina.

The list of recognised triangulations is expected to grow between releases.

If the standard triangulation returned has boundary triangles then the given triangulation must have the same corresponding boundary triangles, i.e., the triangulation cannot have any further identifications of these boundary triangles with each other.

This routine may recognise more triangulations than the component-based isStandardTriangulation(NComponent*), since passing an entire triangulation allows access to more information.

Parameters
trithe triangulation under examination.
Returns
the details of the standard triangualation if the given triangulation is recognised, or 0 otherwise.
std::string regina::ShareableObject::str ( ) const
inherited

Returns the output from writeTextShort() as a string.

Python:
This implements the __str__() function.
Returns
a short text representation of this object.
std::string regina::ShareableObject::toString ( ) const
inlineinherited

A deprecated alias for str(), which returns the output from writeTextShort() as a string.

Deprecated:
This routine has (at long last) been deprecated; use the simpler-to-type str() instead.
Returns
a short text representation of this object.
std::string regina::ShareableObject::toStringLong ( ) const
inlineinherited

A deprecated alias for detail(), which returns the output from writeTextLong() as a string.

Deprecated:
This routine has (at long last) been deprecated; use the simpler-to-type detail() instead.
Returns
a long text representation of this object.
std::ostream & regina::NSnappedBall::writeName ( std::ostream &  out) const
inlinevirtual

Writes the name of this triangulation as a human-readable string to the given output stream.

Python:
The parameter out does not exist; standard output will be used.
Parameters
outthe output stream to which to write.
Returns
a reference to the given output stream.

Implements regina::NStandardTriangulation.

std::ostream & regina::NSnappedBall::writeTeXName ( std::ostream &  out) const
inlinevirtual

Writes the name of this triangulation in TeX format to the given output stream.

No leading or trailing dollar signs will be included.

Warning
The behaviour of this routine has changed as of Regina 4.3; in earlier versions, leading and trailing dollar signs were provided.
Python:
The parameter out does not exist; standard output will be used.
Parameters
outthe output stream to which to write.
Returns
a reference to the given output stream.

Implements regina::NStandardTriangulation.

void regina::NSnappedBall::writeTextLong ( std::ostream &  out) const
inlinevirtual

Writes this object in long text format to the given output stream.

The output should provide the user with all the information they could want. The output should be human-readable, should not contain extremely long lines (so users can read the output in a terminal), and should end with a final newline.

The default implementation of this routine merely calls writeTextShort() and adds a newline.

Python:
The parameter out does not exist; standard output will be used.
Parameters
outthe output stream to which to write.

Reimplemented from regina::ShareableObject.

void regina::NStandardTriangulation::writeTextShort ( std::ostream &  out) const
inlinevirtualinherited

Writes this object in short text format to the given output stream.

The output should be human-readable, should fit on a single line, and should not end with a newline.

Python:
The parameter out does not exist; standard output will be used.
Parameters
outthe output stream to which to write.

Implements regina::ShareableObject.
