ExtremalPolygonTraits_2 Concept Reference

Definition

Advanced

The concept ExtremalPolygonTraits_2 provides the types and operations needed to compute a maximal \( k\)-gon that can be inscribed into a given convex polygon.

Note
ExtremalPolygonTraits_2::Less_xy_2 and ExtremalPolygonTraits_2::Orientation_2 are used for (expensive) precondition checking only. Therefore, they need not to be specified, in case that precondition checking is disabled.
Has Models:

CGAL::Extremal_polygon_area_traits_2<K>

CGAL::Extremal_polygon_perimeter_traits_2<K>

Member Typedef Documentation

AdaptableBinaryFunction class op: Point_2 \( \times\) Point_2 \( \rightarrow\) FT.

Together with init this operation recursively defines the objective function to maximize. Let \( p\) and \( q\) be two vertices of a polygon \( P\) such that \( q\) precedes \( p\) in the oriented vertex chain of \( P\) starting with vertex \( root\). Then op(p,q) returns the value by which an arbitrary sub-polygon of \( P\) with vertices from \( [root,\, q]\) increases when \( p\) is added to it. E.g. in the maximum area case this is the area of the triangle \( (root,\, q,\, p)\).

Member Function Documentation

FT ExtremalPolygonTraits_2::init ( const Point_2 p,
const Point_2 q 
) const

returns the value of the objective function for a polygon consisting of the two points p and q.

(e.g. in the maximum area case this is FT( 0).)

int ExtremalPolygonTraits_2::min_k ( ) const

returns the minimal \( k\) for which a maximal \( k\)-gon can be computed.

(e.g. in the maximum area case this is three.)
