Quad-edge: Applications, Uses & Overview

A quad-edge data structure is a computer representation of the topology of a two-dimensional or three-dimensional map, that is, a graph drawn on a (closed) surface. It was first described by Jorge Stolfi and Leonidas J. Guibas. It is a variant of the earlier winged edge data structure.
