CGAL 4.12 - 2D Triangulation
RegularTriangulationTraits_2 Concept Reference

## Definition

The concept RegularTriangulationTraits_2 describes the requirements for the traits class of regular triangulations. It refines the concept TriangulationTraits_2 requiring the type CGAL::Weighted_point_2 and the power test predicate on those weighted points. A weighted point is basically a point augmented with a scalar weight. It can be seen as a circle when the weight is interpreted as a square radius. The power test on weighted points is the fundamental test to build regular triangulations as the side_of_oriented_circle test is the fundamental test of Delaunay triangulations.

Assignment operator.

Power_side_of_oriented_power_circle_2 power_side_of_oriented_power_circle_2_object ()

Compare_power_distance_2 compare_power_distance_2_object ()

Construct_point_2 construct_point_2_object ()

## ◆ Compare_power_distance_2

A function object, model of Kernel::ComparePowerDistance_2 for comparing two power distances.

Must provide the operator:

Comparison_result operator()(Point_2 p, Weighted_point_2 q, Weighted_point_2 r), which compares the power distance between p and q to the power distance between p and r.

## ◆ Construct_point_2

A constructor type, model of Kernel::ConstructPoint_2.

The operator() extracts the bare point from a weighted point.

Point_2 operator() ( Weighted_point_2 p);

A function object, model of Kernel::ConstructRadicalAxis_2, that constructs the radical axis of two weighted points.

Must provide the operator:

Line_2 operator() ( Weighted_point_2 p, Weighted_point_2 q);

## ◆ Construct_weighted_circumcenter_2

A function object, model of Kernel::ConstructWeightedCircumcenter_2, that constructs the weighted circumcenter of three weighted points.

Must provide the operator:

Point_2 operator() ( Weighted_point_2 p, Weighted_point_2 q, Weighted_point_2 r);

## ◆ Power_side_of_oriented_power_circle_2

A predicate object, model of PowerSideOfOrientedPowerCircle_2, that must provide operators for the power test applied to two, three, and four points.

Must provide the operators:

• Oriented_side operator() ( Weighted_point_2 p, Weighted_point_2 q, Weighted_point_2 r, Weighted_point_2 s) which is the power test for points p, q, r and s.
Precondition
the bare points corresponding to p, q, r are not collinear.
• Oriented_side operator() ( Weighted_point_2 p, Weighted_point_2 q, Weighted_point_2 r) which is the degenerate power test for collinear points p, q, r.
Precondition
the bare points corresponding to p, q, r are collinear and p != q.
• Oriented_side operator() ( Weighted_point_2 p, Weighted_point_2 q) which is the degenerate power test for weighted points p and q whose corresponding bare-points are identical.
Precondition
the bare points corresponding to p and q are identical.

## ◆ Weighted_point_2

The weighted point type.

It has to be a model of the concept Kernel::WeightedPoint_2.

Note
The unweighted point type Point_2 is requested by the concept TriangulationTraits_2, which this concept refines.
