Kantevektoren
Kantevektoren, also known as edge vectors or half-edge vectors, are a concept used in computer graphics and computational geometry to represent the relationship between edges and vertices in a mesh. Specifically, a kantevektor is associated with an edge and points from one of its endpoints to the other. This directional nature allows for more sophisticated data structures and algorithms to be developed for mesh manipulation and analysis.
In a typical mesh representation, each vertex has a position, and each face is defined by a
The use of kantevektoren often arises in half-edge data structures. In this structure, each edge is represented
