GeneralPolygon_2 Concept Reference

Definition

Refines:

GpsTraitsGeneralPolygon_2

A model of this concept represents a simple general-polygon. The geometric mapping of the edges of the polygon must be \( x\)-monotone curves. The concept requires the ability to access these curves. The general polygon represented must be simple. That is, the only points of the plane belonging to two curves are the geometric mapping of the polygon vertices. In addition, the vertices of the represented polygon must be ordered consistently, and the curved must be directed accordingly. Only counterclockwise oriented polygons are valid operands of Boolean set-operations. General polygon that represent holes must be clockwise oriented.

Member Function Documentation

template<class Iterator >

void GeneralPolygon_2::init	(	Iterator	begin,
		Iterator	end
	)

initializes the polygon with the polygonal chain given by the range.

The value type of Iterator must be X_monotone_curve_2.

Precondition

The curves in the range must define a simple polygon.
