# Key Design Decisions
Rationale for the architectural choices that distinguish conformallab++ from the
Java original and from generic geometry-processing frameworks.
---
## CGAL `Surface_mesh` as the halfedge data structure
The Java library uses `CoHDS` — a custom intrusive halfedge data structure with
`CoVertex`, `CoEdge`, `CoFace` types that carry domain-specific data directly as fields.
conformallab++ replaces this with `CGAL::Surface_mesh<Point3>` and attaches data via
**named property maps**:
```cpp
// Java: vertex.getLambda() → C++: maps.lambda0[v]
// Java: edge.getAlpha() → C++: maps.e_alpha[e]
// Java: vertex.getSolverIndex() → C++: maps.v_idx[v]
auto [lambda0, ok] = mesh.add_property_map<Edge_index, double>("e:lambda0", 0.0);
lambda0[e] = 1.234;
```
This decouples the mesh topology from the algorithm data, makes it straightforward
to attach multiple independent data sets to the same mesh, and will enable the Phase 8
traits-class design to work with any CGAL-conforming mesh type.
---
## DOF vector convention
All three functionals use the same indexing scheme: a flat `std::vector<double> x`
indexed by `v_idx[v]` (vertices) and `e_idx[e]` (edges, HyperIdeal only).
Index value `-1` means "pinned" — the DOF is fixed at zero and excluded from the
Newton system.
```
x[maps.v_idx[v]] = uᵥ (conformal scale factor, Euclidean/Spherical)
x[maps.e_idx[e]] = λₑ (edge log-length variable, HyperIdeal only)
-1 pinned — u_v = 0 / λ_e = 0
```
This is consistent across all three geometry modes, enabling the same Newton solver
and linear system infrastructure to serve all three without branching.
---
## Priority-BFS layout
A naive BFS layout places faces in arbitrary order; trilateration errors accumulate
along the BFS frontier. conformallab++ uses a **priority min-heap on BFS depth**:
```
depth(face) = max(depth[v_src], depth[v_tgt]) + 1 for each new face
```
Faces with smaller depth (closer to the root) are placed first. This means each
face's trilateration uses the two most accurately-placed adjacent vertices, minimising
error propagation across the mesh.
Root face selection: largest 3-D area face, with an additional 1.5× bonus for
interior faces over boundary faces. This heuristic places the root where metric
distortion is lowest.
---
## `halfedge_uv` semantics
`layout.uv[v.idx()]` gives the *primary* UV coordinate of vertex `v` — the position
from the shallowest BFS visit. At seam edges this is insufficient for GPU rendering:
two faces sharing a seam vertex need *different* UV values for that vertex.
`layout.halfedge_uv[h.idx()]` stores the UV of `source(h)` **as seen from `face(h)`**:
```
halfedge h → face(h) → source(h) has UV = halfedge_uv[h.idx()]
opposite(h) → face(h') → source(h) has UV = halfedge_uv[opposite(h).idx()]
(different value at a seam)
```
At seam halfedges the two opposite halfedges carry different UV values — each face
gets its own copy of the seam vertex. This enables a proper GPU texture atlas
without vertex duplication in the index buffer.
---
## Spherical Hessian sign convention
The spherical energy functional is **concave** (negative semidefinite Hessian).
Standard Newton would require solving `H·Δx = G` with NSD `H`, which Cholesky
cannot handle.
`newton_spherical()` solves `(H)·Δx = G` instead — algebraically identical,
but `H` is PSD and `SimplicialLDLT` works correctly. This sign flip is handled
transparently inside `newton_spherical()`; callers need not be aware of it.
The gradient sign in spherical mode is also flipped vs. Euclidean:
- Euclidean: `G_v = actual_sum Θᵥ`
- Spherical: `G_v = Θᵥ actual_sum`
Both conventions drive the same equilibrium condition `G = 0`.
---
## HyperIdeal Hessian via finite differences
The analytic HyperIdeal Hessian requires differentiating through the chain
`(bᵢ, aₑ) → lᵢⱼ → ζ₁₃/ζ₁₄/ζ₁₅ → αᵢⱼ/βᵢ` with four vertex-type combinations
per edge — substantial implementation complexity.
conformallab++ uses a **symmetric finite-difference Hessian** instead:
```
H[i,j] = (G(x + ε·eⱼ)[i] G(x ε·eⱼ)[i]) / (2ε), ε = 1e-5
```
Properties:
- O(ε²) accuracy — relative error ≈ 10⁻¹⁰ at ε = 10⁻⁵
- PSD guaranteed by strict convexity of the HyperIdeal energy (Springborn 2020)
- Symmetrised automatically: `H = (H + Hᵀ) / 2`
- Cost: n extra gradient evaluations per Newton step (acceptable for < 500 DOFs)
The analytic Hessian is deferred to Phase 9b. See [roadmap/java-parity.md](../roadmap/java-parity.md).
