Module: Draw_Cubical_Complex

Description:

Displays a cubical complex by drawing its principal faces, as a set of (outlined) cubes, quads, lines and points for the 3-, 2-, 1- and 0-faces respectively. It behaves in the same way as the Draw_Cubes module relative to the 3-faces, in the sense that it does not display the sides of the 3-faces that are part of more than one 3-face, so as to be able to display large cubical complexes.

Illustration of a simple cubical complex, with outlined coloured principal 3-faces, outlined transparent principal 2-faces, and a green principal 0-face in the foreground.

Connections:
