Polygonal circles from cycles in finite plane complexes #
A simple graph cycle in the one-skeleton of a finite plane complex is automatically a polygonal circle. The exact segment-intersection axioms follow from the complex's face-to-face law and the fact that a simple cycle has no repeated cyclic vertex.
The geometric segment carried by an edge of the vertex graph.
A graph walk traces a canonical geometric path through the corresponding straight edges.

Instances For
The geometric path of a walk stays in the support of the complex, provided its final vertex is an actual zero-face.
Every straight edge of a walk occurs in the range of its geometric path.
A nonconstant walk's geometric path is covered by its finitely many straight edges.
Concatenating graph walks unions the ranges of their canonical geometric paths.
Changing only a walk's dependent endpoint witnesses does not change its geometric range.
Mapping a walk from a carrier restriction back to the ambient plane complex preserves its geometric range.
Change only the endpoint witnesses of a path. Its underlying function, and hence its range and injectivity, are unchanged.

Instances For
A path contained in an embedded arc and joining the same endpoints covers that entire arc. This is the order-convexity of connected subsets of the unit interval, transported through the arc homeomorphism.
A simple cycle in a finite plane complex determines an honest polygonal circle.

Instances For
The polygonal carrier associated to a graph cycle is exactly the range of the canonical piecewise-linear path around that cycle.
