We propose to use combinatorial maps as a non-geometric computer repre
sentation of convex polyhedral and polygonal stereogenic entities. Thi
s model is simple, uniform, and general. It allows to represent any re
lative spatial arrangement of atoms (stereogenic entities, molecular s
hapes, etc.). (C) Academie des Sciences/Elsevier, Paris.
