Define: Data Structure for Representing a Mesh

Data Structures for Representing a Mesh.


A good mesh representation must primarily be space efficient. In addition, if the topology of the mesh is to change (e.g. in a 3D modeling package) where polygons have to be split and merged and removed and inserted, there must be efficient access to the following kinds of information;

  • All vertices around vertex
  • All edges of a face
  • All vertices of a face
  • All faces around a vertex
  • All edges around a vertex
  • Both faces of an edge
  • Both vertices of an edge
  • Find face with given vertices
