Name

GetRingEdges — Returns the ordered set of signed edge identifiers met by walking on an a given edge side.

Synopsis

getfaceedges_returntype GetRingEdges(varchar atopology, integer aring, integer max_edges=null);

Description

Returns the ordered set of signed edge identifiers met by walking on an a given edge side. Each output consists of a sequence and a signed edge id. Sequence numbers start with value 1.

If you pass a positive edge id, the walk starts on the left side of the corresponding edge and follows the edge direction. If you pass a negative edge id, the walk starts on the right side of it and goes backward.

If max_edges is not null no more than those records are returned by that function. This is meant to be a safety parameter when dealing with possibly invalid topologies.

[Note]

This function uses edge ring linking metadata.
