Definition

An instance of data type Point_d<Kernel> is a point of Euclidean space in dimension \( d\).

A point \( p = (p_0,\ldots,p_{ d - 1 })\) in \( d\)-dimensional space can be represented by homogeneous coordinates \( (h_0,h_1,\ldots,h_d)\) of number type RT such that \( p_i = h_i/h_d\), which is of type FT. The homogenizing coordinate \( h_d\) is positive.

We call \( p_i\), \( 0 \leq i < d\) the \( i\)-th Cartesian coordinate and \( h_i\), \( 0 \le i \le d\), the \( i\)-th homogeneous coordinate. We call \( d\) the dimension of the point.

Downward compatibility

We provide operations of the lower dimensional interface x(), y(), z(), hx(), hy(), hz(), hw().

Implementation

Points are implemented by arrays of RT items. All operations like creation, initialization, tests, point - vector arithmetic, input and output on a point \( p\) take time \( O(p.dimension())\). dimension(), coordinate access and conversions take constant time. The space requirement for points is \( O(p.dimension())\).

template<class InputIterator >
CGAL::Point_d< Kernel >::Point_d ( int  d,
InputIterator  first,

introduces a variable p of type Point_d<Kernel> in dimension d.

If size [first,last) == d this creates a point with Cartesian coordinates set [first,last). If size [first,last) == d+1 the range specifies the homogeneous coordinates \( H = set [first,last) = (\pm h_0, \pm h_1, \ldots, \pm h_d)\) where the sign chosen is the sign of \( h_d\).

Precondition
d is nonnegative, [first,last) has d or d+1 elements where the last has to be non-zero.
Template Parameters
InputIteratorhas RT as value type.
