Grid Element Handle Concept

Description

A Grid Element Handle is a minimal representation of a Grid Elements. They are unique only within a single Grid, which allows to map back and forth between handles and their corresponding elements.

Models
Note
  1. Typical models of Element Handles are basic built-in types, such as integral types or pointers. As such, it is not required that the types of handles corresponding to different element types (such as vertices and cells) be themselves different.
  2. Often, handles have to fullfil additional requirements. For example, implementations of Container Grid Functions often exploit special properties of handles, such as being consecutively ordered integral types, or being a hashable type (that is, the hash template has been specialized for them).
