Closed neighborhoods and cut ports of polygonal embeddings #
A declared vertex has a positive closed neighborhood avoiding every other declared point and every nonincident segment. Its radius is smaller than one third of every incident end segment. This includes both separate ends of a loop and imposes no shape on the drawing.
The cut ports are actual real affine points on those end segments, at a common distance from the vertex. They are distinct for distinct incident darts. These are preparation lemmas for local replacement, not a vertex-splitting or general realization theorem.
A sufficiently small closed ball isolates the straight star of a declared vertex, avoids the other declared points, and cuts every incident segment before its first third. Repeated vertex declarations and arbitrary natural vertex names are allowed.
The cut port on an actual outgoing end segment, with no chosen angular coordinates.
Instances For
The common-radius cut port lies at precisely that distance from its own vertex.
Cutting before the end of the first outgoing segment is an actual segment parameter, including the reversed final segment at the second end of an edge or loop.
A cut strictly shorter than its outgoing segment is on that original route.
The cut operation preserves the actual outgoing ray in the fixed plane.
Distinct actual darts at one vertex yield distinct common-radius boundary ports. The two ends of the same loop are included.
Cut an end precisely when it belongs to the vertex being replaced. The other end of an edge stays unchanged; the two ends of a loop are cut separately.
Instances For
The exterior part of an edge after cutting at a named vertex. This is route data, not a drawing of a graph with invented port vertices.
Instances For
A restriction radius gives independent small nonnegative cuts at every edge end.
The two independent end cuts leave a nonempty parameter interval on every route.
The two ends of the exterior piece are their respective cut ports or unchanged original endpoints, according to actual incidence with the named vertex.
Exterior pieces retain continuous simplicity, with no assumptions on their slopes, number of bends, loop status or the incidence of their other end.
Cutting the star does not create any point outside an old edge's continuous support.
Every point where an exterior piece meets the closed replacement ball is its own boundary port at an original end incident to the replaced vertex. Thus an interior patch cannot meet an exterior route interior. Both loop ends remain separate cases.
An actual embedding supplies its own common-radius cut and all exterior contact conditions. No local disk, prescribed slopes, port coordinates or patch is a premise. This stops at the exterior pieces: constructing and attaching a split patch is separate.
