/** \page tutorial_07b Deleting geometry elements
This small example shows how to remove faces and vertices from a mesh.
We basically use the geometry created in \ref tutorial_01.
If we want our mesh class to be able to remove vertices, faces or (half-) edges
we have to extend the default traits for our mesh class.
Vertices, faces and (half-)edges need the OpenMesh::Attributes::Status attribute
which is used to hold the flag "deleted" if an element is deleted.
The struct which defines the mesh traits then looks like this:
\dontinclude delete_geometry.cc
\skipline struct
\until };
After having created the geometry of the cube one can delete faces and vertices
by simply calling delete_vertices() (delete_faces() or delete_edges() respectiely).
In this example we delete all faces excpet one and the corresponding vertices.
The code looks like this
\dontinclude delete_geometry.cc
\skipline // Delete face 0
\until mesh.delete_vertex(vhandle[3], false);
Now the deleted faces and vertices are marked as "deleted" internally.
Call garbage_collection() to definitely remove them from memory.
\dontinclude delete_geometry.cc
\skipline // Delete all
\until mesh.garbage_collection();
The full source code of the example:
\include delete_geometry.cc
