Definition

The class Constrained_triangulation_plus_2<Tr> provides a constrained triangulation with an additional data structure that keeps track of the input constraints and of their refinement in the triangulation.

The class Constrained_triangulation_plus_2<Tr> inherits from its template parameter Tr, which has to be instantiated by a constrained or constrained Delaunay triangulation. The intersection tag of the base class determines whether intersecting input constraints are supported or not. When intersections of input constraints are supported, the base class constructs a triangulation of the arrangement of the constraints, introducing new vertices at each proper intersection point.

The data structure maintains for each input constraint the sequence of vertices on this constraint. These vertices are either vertices of the input constraint or intersection points.

Todo:: The following description does not match the code Two consecutive vertices of an input constraint form a subconstraint. A subconstraint is a pair of vertex handles and corresponds to a constrained edge of the triangulation, which is a pair of a face handle and an index.

The triangulation also enables the retrieval of the set of subconstraints of the triangulation (not ordered along constraints). It further enables the retrieval of the set of input constraints that induce a subconstraint,. As it is straightforward to obtain a subconstraint from a constrained edge e, one can obtain the input constraints which induce e.

Template Parameters

Tr	must be either a CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_2 or a CGAL::Constrained_Delaunay_triangulation_2

Polyline Simplification
Advanced The polyline simplification algorithm described in Chapter Chapter_2D_Polyline_simplification operates on polyline constraints. The algorithm removes in each simplification step a vertex of a constraint and at the same time from the triangulation. The class `Constrained_triangulation_plus_2` stores for each constraint not only the sequence of vertices but also the original sequence of points at those vertices. As the `Vertices_in_constraint_iterator` enables the traversal of the current set of vertices, the `Points_in_constraint_iterator` enables the traversal of the points that were in the constraint before the simplification algorithm started. It enables the simplification algorithm to compute the error introduced by each simplification step: it is the distance of the current sequence (vertices) to the original sequence (points). Those stored points which do not correspond to a vertex can be removed afterward either for a single constraint or for all constraints. The simplification algorithm uses the following types and functions.

Context CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::context	(	Vertex_handle	va,
		Vertex_handle	vb
	)		const

Returns the Context relative to one of the constraints enclosing the subconstraint (va,vb).

Precondition: va and vb refer to the vertices of a constrained edge of the triangulation.

		Vertex_handle	vb
	)		const

Inserts point p in the triangulation at the location given by (lt,loc,i).

See Also: Triangulation_2::locate()

size_type CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::insert	(	PointIterator	first,
		PointIterator	last
	)

Inserts the points in the range [first,last).

Returns the number of inserted points.

Template Parameters

PointIterator must be an InputIterator with the value type Point.

template<typename Tr >

Constraint_id CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::insert_constraint	(	Point	a,
		Point	b
	)

Inserts the constraint segment ab in the triangulation.

If the two points are equal the point is inserted but no constraint, and the default constructed Constraint_id is returned.

Examples:: Triangulation_2/constrained_hierarchy_plus.cpp, and Triangulation_2/constrained_plus.cpp.

template<typename Tr >

Constraint_id CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::insert_constraint	(	Vertex_handle	va,
		Vertex_handle	vb
	)

Inserts a constraint whose endpoints are the vertices pointed by va and vb in the triangulation.

If the two vertex handles are equal no constraint is inserted, and the default constructed Constraint_id is returned.

template<typename Tr >

template<class PointIterator >

Constraint_id CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::insert_constraint	(	PointIterator	first,
		PointIterator	last,
		bool	close = `false`
	)

Inserts a polyline defined by the points in the range [first,last) and returns the constraint id.

The polyline is considered as a closed curve if the first and last point are equal or if close == true. This enables for example passing the vertex range of a Polygon_2. When traversing the vertices of a closed polyline constraint with a Vertices_in_constraint_iterator the first and last vertex are the same. In case the range is empty Constraint_id()is returned. In case all points are equal the point is inserted but no constraint, and Constraint_id()is returned.

Template Parameters

PointIterator must be an InputIterator with the value type Point.

template<typename Tr >

template<class ConstraintIterator >

std::size_t CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::insert_constraints	(	ConstraintIterator	first,
		ConstraintIterator	last
	)

inserts the constraints in the range [first,last).

Note that this function is not guaranteed to insert the constraints following the order of ConstraintIterator, as spatial_sort() is used to improve efficiency. More precisely, all endpoints are inserted prior to the segments and according to the order provided by the spatial sort. Once endpoints have been inserted, the segments are inserted in the order of the input iterator, using the vertex handles of its endpoints.

Returns: the number of inserted points.

Template Parameters

ConstraintIterator must be an InputIterator with the value type std::pair<Point,Point> or Segment.

template<typename Tr >

template<class PointIterator , class IndicesIterator >

std::size_t CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::insert_constraints	(	PointIterator	points_first,
		PointIterator	points_last,
		IndicesIterator	indices_first,
		IndicesIterator	indices_last
	)

Same as above except that each constraint is given as a pair of indices of the points in the range [points_first, points_last).

The indices must go from 0 to std::distance(points_first, points_last)

Template Parameters

PointIterator	is an `InputIterator` with the value type `Point`.
IndicesIterator	is an `InputIterator` with `std::pair<Int, Int>` where `Int` is an integral type implicitly convertible to `std::size_t`

template<typename Tr >

int CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::number_of_enclosing_constraints	(	Vertex_handle	va,
		Vertex_handle	vb
	)		const

Precondition: va and vb refer to the vertices of a constrained edge of the triangulation.

template<typename Tr >

void CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::remove_points_without_corresponding_vertex ( )

Advanced

Removes all original points that correspond to vertices in the constraints which have been removed by the simplify() function.

template<typename Tr >

void CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::simplify ( Vertices_in_constraint_iterator vicq)

Advanced

Removes the vertex at vicq from the constraint and the triangulation.

The point of that vertex remains stored in the sequence of original points of the constraint until remove_points_without_corresponding_vertex(Constraint_id) or remove_points_without_corresponding_vertex() is called.

The polyline simplification algorithm described in Chapter Chapter_2D_Polyline_simplification operates on polyline constraints and applies simplify() to vertices in constraints based on a cost and stop function.

Precondition: Each vertex of the triangulation must be either a vertex of a constraint or a vertex at the intersection of constraints.; vicq must neither be the first nor the last vertex on a constraint.; The vertex referred by vicq is not contained in any other constraint.; Let vip and vir be defined as vip = std::prev(vicq) and vir = std::next(vicr).; The line segment between *vicp->point() and *vicr->point() must not intersect any constraint.

template<typename Tr >

void CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::swap ( Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr > tr)

The triangulations tr and this triangulation are swapped.

This operation should be preferred to the assignment or to the copy constructor if tr is deleted after that.

		Vertex_handle	vb
	)		const

Deprecated:: Returns an iterator past the last vertex on the constraint cid.

Attention: This function only works for constraints that were inserted as a pair of points or pair of vertex handles.
