Description:
|
An
edge is a topological entity associated with a curve. An edge is bounded by one or more vertices, and refers to one vertex at each end. If the reference at either or both ends is
NULL, the edge is unbounded in that direction. Each edge contains a record of its sense (FORWARD or
REVERSED) relative to its underlying curve.
edge objects are saved and restored as part of the model.
