+  <Oper Name="FacialWalks" Arg="digraph, list"/>
+  <Returns>A list of lists of vertices.</Returns>
+  <Description>
+    If <A>digraph</A> is an Eulerian digraph and <A>list</A> is a rotation system of <A>digraph</A>, 
+    then <C>FacialWalks</C> returns a list of the <E>facial walks</E> in <A>digraph</A>. <P/>
+
+    A rotation system defines for each vertex the ordering of the out-neighbours.
+    For example, the method <Ref Subsect="PlanarEmbedding" Style="Number" /> computes for a
+    planar digraph <A>D</A> the rotation system of a planar embedding of <A>D</A>.
+    The facial walks of <A>digraph</A> are closed walks and they are defined by the rotation system <A>list</A>. 
+    They describe the boundaries of the faces of the embedding of <A>digraph</A> given
+    by the rotation system <A>list</A>.
+    
+    The operation <C>FacialWalks</C> ignores
+    multiple edges and loops.<P/>
+    Here are some examples for planar embeddings:
+    <Example><![CDATA[
+gap> D1 := CycleDigraph(4);;
+gap> planar := PlanarEmbedding(D1);
+[ [ 2 ], [ 3 ], [ 4 ], [ 1 ] ]
+gap> FacialWalks(D1, planar);
+[ [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ]
+gap> nonPlanar := [[2, 4], [1, 3], [2, 4], [1, 3]];;
+gap> FacialWalks(D1, nonPlanar);
+[ [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ]
+gap> D2 := CompleteMultipartiteDigraph([2, 2, 2]);;
+gap> rotationSystem := PlanarEmbedding(D2);
+[ [ 3, 5, 4, 6 ], [ 6, 4, 5, 3 ], [ 6, 2, 5, 1 ], [ 1, 5, 2, 6 ],

+    Here is an example of a non-planar digraph with a corresponding rotation system:
+    <Example><![CDATA[
+gap> D3 := CompleteMultipartiteDigraph([3, 3]);;
+gap> rot := [[6, 5, 4], [6, 5, 4], [6, 5, 4], [1, 2, 3],
