Detailed Description

Represents a plugged triangular solid torus component of a triangulation.

Such a component is obtained as follows.

Begin with a three-tetrahedron triangular solid torus (as described by class NTriSolidTorus). Observe that the three axis edges divide the boundary into three annuli.

To each of these annuli a layered chain may be optionally attached. If present, the chain should be attached so its hinge edges are identified with the axis edges of the corresonding annulus and its bottom tetrahedron is layered over either the major edge or minor edge of the corresponding annulus. The top two faces of the layered chain should remain free.

Thus we now have three annuli on the boundary, each represented as a square two of whose (opposite) edges are axis edges of the original triangular solid torus (and possibly also hinge edges of a layered chain).

Create a plug by gluing two tetrahedra together along a single face. The six edges that do not run along this common face split the plug boundary into three squares. These three squares must be glued to the three boundary annuli previously described. Each axis edge meets two of the annuli; the two corresponding edges of the plug must be non-adjacent (have no common vertex) on the plug. In this way each of the six edges of the plug not running along its interior face corresponds to precisely one of the two instances of precisely one of the three axis edges.

If the axis edges are directed so that they all point the same way around the triangular solid torus, these axis edges when drawn on the plug must all point from one common tip of the plug to the other (where the tips of the plug are the vertices not meeting the interior face). The gluings must also be made so that the resulting triangulation component is orientable.

Of the optional NStandardTriangulation routines, getManifold() is implemented for most plugged triangular solid tori and getHomologyH1() is not implemented at all.

Test:
Tested in the test suite, though not exhaustively.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual regina::NPlugTriSolidTorus::~NPlugTriSolidTorus ( ) [virtual]

Destroys this plugged solid torus; note that the corresponding triangular solid torus and layered chains will also be destroyed.


Member Function Documentation

NPlugTriSolidTorus* regina::NPlugTriSolidTorus::clone ( ) const

Returns a newly created clone of this structure.

Returns:
a newly created clone.
const NLayeredChain * regina::NPlugTriSolidTorus::getChain ( int  annulus) const [inline]

Returns the layered chain attached to the requested annulus on the boundary of the core triangular solid torus.

If there is no attached layered chain, null will be returned.

Note that the core triangular solid torus will be attached to the bottom (as opposed to the top) of the layered chain.

Parameters:
annulusspecifies which annulus to examine; this must be 0, 1 or 2.
Returns:
the corresponding layered chain.
int regina::NPlugTriSolidTorus::getChainType ( int  annulus) const [inline]

Returns the way in which a layered chain is attached to the requested annulus on the boundary of the core triangular solid torus.

This will be one of the chain type constants defined in this class.

Parameters:
annulusspecifies which annulus to examine; this must be 0, 1 or 2.
Returns:
the type of layered chain, or CHAIN_NONE if there is no layered chain attached to the requested annulus.
const NTriSolidTorus & regina::NPlugTriSolidTorus::getCore ( ) const [inline]

Returns the triangular solid torus at the core of this triangulation.

Returns:
the core triangular solid torus.
int regina::NPlugTriSolidTorus::getEquatorType ( ) const [inline]

Returns which types of edges form the equator of the plug.

In the absence of layered chains these will either all be major edges or all be minor edges.

Layered chains complicate matters, but the roles that the major and minor edges play on the boundary annuli of the triangular solid torus can be carried up to the annuli at the top of each layered chain; the edges filling the corresponding major or minor roles will then form the equator of the plug.

Returns:
the types of edges that form the equator of the plug; this will be one of the equator type constants defined in this class.
NManifold* regina::NPlugTriSolidTorus::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.

static NPlugTriSolidTorus* regina::NPlugTriSolidTorus::isPlugTriSolidTorus ( NComponent comp) [static]

Determines if the given triangulation component is a plugged triangular solid torus.

Parameters:
compthe triangulation component to examine.
Returns:
a newly created structure containing details of the plugged triangular solid torus, or null if the given component is not a plugged triangular solid torus.
std::ostream& regina::NPlugTriSolidTorus::writeName ( std::ostream &  out) const [virtual]

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::NPlugTriSolidTorus::writeTeXName ( std::ostream &  out) const [virtual]

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::NPlugTriSolidTorus::writeTextLong ( std::ostream &  out) const [virtual]

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

The output should provided the user with all the information they could want. The output should end with a 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.
