Definition

This class is used to maintain the regular triangulation – also known as weighted Delaunay triangulation – of a set of weighted points in \( \mathbb{R}^D \).

The maximal dimension \( D\) can be specified at compile-time or run-time. It should be kept reasonably small – see the performance section in the user manual for what reasonable means.

Warning
The removal of points is not supported yet.
Template Parameters
RegularTriangulationTraits_is the geometric traits class that provides the geometric types and predicates needed by regular triangulations. RegularTriangulationTraits_ must be a model of the concept RegularTriangulationTraits.
TriangulationDataStructure_must be a model of the concept TriangulationDataStructure. This model is used to store the faces of the triangulation. The parameter TriangulationDataStructure_ defaults to Triangulation_data_structure whose template parameters are instantiated as follows:

Regular_triangulation can be defined by specifying only the first parameter, or by using the tag CGAL::Default as the second parameter.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Regular_triangulation()

template<typename RegularTriangulationTraits_ , typename TriangulationDataStructure_ >
CGAL::Regular_triangulation< RegularTriangulationTraits_, TriangulationDataStructure_ >::Regular_triangulation ( int  dim,
const Geom_traits gt = Geom_traits() 
)

Instantiates a regular triangulation with one vertex (the vertex at infinity).

See the description of the inherited nested type Triangulation::Maximal_dimension for an explanation of the use of the parameter dim. The triangulation stores a copy of the geometric traits gt.

Member Function Documentation

◆ compute_conflict_zone()

template<typename RegularTriangulationTraits_ , typename TriangulationDataStructure_ >
template<typename OutputIterator >
Facet CGAL::Regular_triangulation< RegularTriangulationTraits_, TriangulationDataStructure_ >::compute_conflict_zone ( const Weighted_point p,
Full_cell_handle  c,
OutputIterator  out 
) const

Outputs handles to the full cells in conflict with point p into the OutputIterator out.

The full cell c is used as a starting point for gathering the full cells in conflict with p. A facet (cc,i) on the boundary of the conflict zone with cc in conflict is returned.

Precondition
c is in conflict with p and rt.current_dimension() \( \geq 1\).

◆ insert() [1/3]

template<typename RegularTriangulationTraits_ , typename TriangulationDataStructure_ >
Vertex_handle CGAL::Regular_triangulation< RegularTriangulationTraits_, TriangulationDataStructure_ >::insert ( const Weighted_point p,
Full_cell_handle  hint = Full_cell_handle() 
)

Inserts weighted point p in the triangulation and returns the corresponding vertex.

If this insertion creates a vertex, this vertex is returned.

If p coincides with an existing vertex and has a greater weight, then the existing weighted point becomes hidden and p replaces it as vertex of the triangulation.

If p coincides with an already existing vertex (both point and weights being equal), then this vertex is returned and the triangulation remains unchanged.

Otherwise if p does not appear as a vertex of the triangulation, then it is stored as a hidden point and this method returns the default constructed handle.

Prior to the actual insertion, p is located in the triangulation; hint is used as a starting place for locating p.

◆ insert() [2/3]

template<typename RegularTriangulationTraits_ , typename TriangulationDataStructure_ >
Vertex_handle CGAL::Regular_triangulation< RegularTriangulationTraits_, TriangulationDataStructure_ >::insert ( const Weighted_point p,
Locate_type  lt,
const Face f,
const Facet ft,
Full_cell_handle  c 
)

Inserts weighted point p in the triangulation.

Similar to the above insert() function, but takes as additional parameter the return values of a previous location query. See description of Triangulation::locate().

◆ insert() [3/3]

template<typename RegularTriangulationTraits_ , typename TriangulationDataStructure_ >
template<typename ForwardIterator >
std::ptrdiff_t CGAL::Regular_triangulation< RegularTriangulationTraits_, TriangulationDataStructure_ >::insert ( ForwardIterator  s,
ForwardIterator  e 
)

Inserts the weighted points found in range [s,e) in the regular triangulation.

Returns the difference between the number of vertices after and before the insertions (it may be negative due to hidden points). Note that this function is not guaranteed to insert the points following the order of ForwardIterator because spatial_sort() is used to improve efficiency.

Template Parameters
ForwardIteratormust be an input iterator with the value type Weighted_point.
