#include <CGAL/Kernel_d/Ray_d.h>

Definition

An instance of data type Ray_d is a ray in \( d\)-dimensional Euclidean space.

It starts in a point called the source of r and it goes to infinity.

Implementation

Rays are implemented by a pair of points as an item type. All operations like creation, initialization, tests, direction calculation, input and output on a ray \( r\) take time \( O(r.dimension())\). dimension(), coordinate and point access, and identity test take constant time. The space requirement is \( O(r.dimension())\).

bool CGAL::Ray_d< Kernel >::has_on ( const Point_d< Kernel > &  p)

A point is on r, iff it is equal to the source of r, or if it is in the interior of r.

Precondition
