PolygonTraits_2 Concept Reference

Definition

The CGAL::Polygon_2 class and the functions that implement the functionality found in that class each are parameterized by a traits class that defines the primitives used in the algorithms. The concept PolygonTraits_2 defines this common set of requirements.

The requirements of PolygonTraits_2 are a subset of the kernel requirements. We only list the types and methods which are required and refer to the description of the kernel concept for details.

Has Models:

The kernels supplied by CGAL are models of PolygonTraits_2.

CGAL::Projection_traits_xy_3<K>

CGAL::Projection_traits_yz_3<K>
