CGAL::Euclidean_distance< Traits > Class Template Reference

#include <CGAL/Euclidean_distance.h>

Definition

The class Euclidean_distance provides an implementation of the concept OrthogonalDistance, with the Euclidean distance ( \( l_2\) metric).

To optimize distance computations squared distances are used.

Template Parameters

Traits

must be a model of the concept SearchTraits, for example Search_traits_2<Simple_cartesian<double> >.
