#include <CGAL/Tetrahedron_3.h>

Definition

An object t of the class Tetrahedron_3 is an oriented tetrahedron in the three-dimensional Euclidean space \( \E^3\).

It is defined by four vertices \( p_0\), \( p_1\), \( p_2\) and \( p_3\). The orientation of a tetrahedron is the orientation of its four vertices. That means it is positive when \( p_3\) is on the positive side of the plane defined by \( p_0\), \( p_1\) and \( p_2\).

The tetrahedron itself splits the space \( \E^3\) in a positive and a negative side.

The boundary of a tetrahedron splits the space in two open regions, a bounded one and an unbounded one.
