@ -123,9 +123,10 @@ used to represent such a PLC.
In this representation, the faces of the PLC correspond to the faces of the
surface mesh—a collection of vertices (points), edges, and faces that cover the surface of a
geometric object.
The vertices of the PLC are the vertices of the surface mesh, the edges of the PLC are the edges
of the surface mesh, and the polygons of the PLC are the facets of the surface mesh.
However, PLCs represented in this way are restricted to be manifold, and their faces cannot have holes.
In this representation, the vertices of the PLC correspond to the vertices of the surface mesh, the
edges of the PLC correspond to the edges of the surface mesh, and the polygons of the PLC correspond
to the facets of the surface mesh. However, PLCs represented in this way are limited to being
manifold (that is, each edge belongs to exactly two faces), and their faces cannot have holes.
A PLC can also be represented as a polygon soup: a collection of vertices and a set of polygons, where
each polygon is defined by an ordered list of vertices, without explicit connectivity information between
