CGAL 4.12 - dD Spatial Searching
GeneralDistance Concept Reference

Definition

Requirements of a distance class defining a distance between a query item denoting a spatial object and a point. To optimize distance computations transformed distances are used, e.g., for a Euclidean distance the transformed distance is the squared Euclidean distance.

Has Models:

CGAL::Manhattan_distance_iso_box_point<Traits>

CGAL::Euclidean_distance_sphere_point<Traits>
