RegularTriangulationTraits_3 Concept Reference

Definition

The concept RegularTriangulationTraits_3 is the first template parameter of the class CGAL::Regular_triangulation_3. It defines the geometric objects (points, segments...) forming the triangulation together with a few geometric predicates and constructions on these objects.

We use here the same notation as in Section Regular Triangulation. To simplify notation, \( p\) will often denote in the sequel either the point \( p\in\mathbb{R}^3\) or the weighted point \( {p}^{(w)}=(p,w_p)\).

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Compare_power_distance_3

A predicate object, model of Kernel::ComparePowerDistance_3, that must provide the function operator.

Comparison_result operator()(Point_3 p, Weighted_point_3 q, Weighted_point_3 r),

which compares the power distance between p and q to the power distance between p and r.

Note
This predicate is required if a call to nearest_power_vertex() or nearest_power_vertex_in_cell() is issued.

◆ Construct_object_3

A constructor object that must provide the function operators.

Object_3 operator()(Point_3 p),

Object_3 operator()(Segment_3 s) and

Object_3 operator()(Ray_3 r)

that construct an object respectively from a point, a segment and a ray.

Note
Only required when the dual operations are used.

◆ Construct_perpendicular_line_3

A constructor object that must provide the function operator.

Line_3 operator()(Plane_3 pl, Point_3 p),

which constructs the line perpendicular to pl passing through p.

Note
Only required when the dual operations are used.

◆ Construct_plane_3

A constructor object that must provide the function operator.

Plane_3 operator()(Point_3 p, Point_3 q, Point_3 r),

which constructs the plane passing through p, q and r.

Precondition
p, q and r are non collinear.
Note
Only required when the dual operations are used.

◆ Construct_point_3

A constructor type, model of Kernel::ConstructPoint_3.

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

Point_3 operator() ( Weighted_point_3 p);

◆ Construct_ray_3

A constructor object that must provide the function operator.

Ray_3 operator()(Point_3 p, Line_3 l),

which constructs the ray starting at p with direction given by l.

Note
Only required when the dual operations are used.

◆ Construct_weighted_circumcenter_3

A constructor type, model of Kernel::ConstructWeightedCircumcenter_3.

The operator() constructs the bare point which is the center of the smallest orthogonal sphere to the input weighted points.

Point_3 operator() ( Weighted_point_3 p, Weighted_point_3 q, Weighted_point_3 r, Weighted_point_3 s);

Note
Only required when the dual operations are used.

◆ Power_side_of_bounded_power_sphere_3

A predicate object that must provide the function operators.

Bounded_side operator()(Weighted_point_3 p, Weighted_point_3 t),

which returns the sign of the power test of t with respect to the smallest sphere orthogonal to p (which is the sphere with center p and squared radius -w_p with w_p the weight of p),

Bounded_side operator()(Weighted_point_3 p, Weighted_point_3 q, Weighted_point_3 t),

which returns the sign of the power test of t with respect to the smallest sphere orthogonal to p and q,

Bounded_side operator()(Weighted_point_3 p, Weighted_point_3 q, Weighted_point_3 r, Weighted_point_3 t),

which returns the sign of the power test of t with respect to the smallest sphere orthogonal to p, q, and r.

◆ Power_side_of_oriented_power_sphere_3

A predicate object, model of Kernel::PowerSideOfOrientedPowerSphere_3, that must provide the following function operators:

Oriented_side operator()( Weighted_point_3 p, Weighted_point_3 q, Weighted_point_3 r, Weighted_point_3 s, Weighted_point_3 t),

which performs the following:

Let \( {z(p,q,r,s)}^{(w)}\) be the power sphere of the weighted points \( (p,q,r,s)\). Returns

  • ON_ORIENTED_BOUNDARY if t is orthogonal to \( {z(p,q,r,s)}^{(w)}\),
  • ON_NEGATIVE_SIDE if t lies outside the oriented sphere of center \( z(p,q,r,s)\) and radius \( \sqrt{ w_{z(p,q,r,s)}^2 + w_t^2 }\) (which is equivalent to \( \Pi({t}^{(w)},{z(p,q,r,s)}^{(w)}) >0\)),
  • ON_POSITIVE_SIDE if t lies inside this oriented sphere.
Precondition
p, q, r, s are not coplanar. Note that with this definition, if all the points have a weight equal to 0, then power_side_of_oriented_power_sphere_3(p,q,r,s,t) = side_of_oriented_sphere(p,q,r,s,t).

Oriented_side operator()( Weighted_point_3 p, Weighted_point_3 q, Weighted_point_3 r, Weighted_point_3 t),

which has a definition analogous to the previous method, for coplanar points, with the power circle \( {z(p,q,r)}^{(w)}\).

Precondition
p, q, r are not collinear and p, q, r, t are coplanar. If all the points have a weight equal to 0, then power_side_of_oriented_power_sphere_3(p,q,r,t) = side_of_oriented_circle(p,q,r,t).

Oriented_side operator()( Weighted_point_3 p, Weighted_point_3 q, Weighted_point_3 t),

which is the same for collinear points, where \( {z(p,q)}^{(w)}\) is the power segment of p and q.

Precondition
p and q have different bare points, and p, q, t are collinear. If all points have a weight equal to 0, then power_side_of_oriented_power_sphere_3(p,q,t) gives the same answer as the kernel predicate s(p,q).has_on(t) would give, where s(p,q) denotes the segment with endpoints p and q.

Oriented_side operator()( Weighted_point_3 p, Weighted_point_3 q),

which is the same for equal bare points, then it returns the comparison of the weights (ON_POSITIVE_SIDE when q is heavier than p).

Precondition
p and q have equal bare points.

◆ Weighted_point_3

The weighted point type.

It has to be a model of the concept Kernel::WeightedPoint_3.

Note
The unweighted point type Point_3 is requested by the concept TriangulationTraits_3, which this concept refines.
