◆ clip() [1/2]

template<class TriangleMesh , class NamedParameters1 , class NamedParameters2 >
bool CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::clip ( TriangleMesh &  tm,
TriangleMesh &  clipper,
const NamedParameters1 &  np_tm,
const NamedParameters2 &  np_c 
)

#include <CGAL/Polygon_mesh_processing/clip.h>

clips tm by keeping the part that is inside the volume bounded by clipper.

If tm is closed, the clipped part can be closed too if the named parameter clip_volume is set to true. See subsection Clipping for more details.

Attention
With the current implementation, clipper will be modified (refined with the intersection with tm).
Precondition

!CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::does_self_intersect(clipper)
CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::does_bound_a_volume(clipper)
Template Parameters
TriangleMesha model of MutableFaceGraph, HalfedgeListGraph and FaceListGraph. If TriangleMesh has an internal property map for CGAL::face_index_t, as a named parameter, then it must be initialized.
NamedParameters1a sequence of Named Parameters

visitora class model of PMPCorefinementVisitor that is used to track the creation of new faces.
throw_on_self_intersectionif true, the set of triangles closed to the intersection of tm and clipper will be checked for self-intersections and CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::Corefinement::Self_intersection_exception will be thrown if at least one is found.

use_compact_clipperif false and clip_volume is false and tm is open, the parts of tm coplanar with clipper will not be part of the output.
Returns
true if the output surface mesh is manifold. If false is returned tm and clipper are only corefined.

◆ clip() [2/2]

template<class TriangleMesh , class NamedParameters >
bool CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::clip ( TriangleMesh &  tm,
const Plane_3 plane,
const NamedParameters &  np 
)

#include <CGAL/Polygon_mesh_processing/clip.h>

clips tm by keeping the part that is on the negative side of plane (side opposite to its normal vector).

If tm is closed, the clipped part can be closed too if the named parameter clip_volume is set to true. See subsection Clipping for more details.

Note
In the current implementation it is not possible to set the vertex point map and the default will be used.
Precondition

Template Parameters

NamedParametersa sequence of Named Parameters
Parameters

npoptional sequence of Named Parameters among the ones listed below
Named Parameters
visitora class model of PMPCorefinementVisitor that is used to track the creation of new faces.
throw_on_self_intersectionif true, the set of triangles closed to the intersection of tm and plane will be checked for self-intersections and CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::Corefinement::Self_intersection_exception will be thrown if at least one is found.
clip_volumeif true and tm is closed, the clipping will be done on the volume bounded by tm rather than on its surface (i.e. tm will be kept closed).
use_compact_clipperif false and clip_volume is false and tm is open, the parts of tm coplanar with plane will not be part of the output.
Returns
true if the output surface mesh is manifold. If false is returned tm is only refined by the intersection with plane.

corefines tm1 and tm2.

For each input triangulated surface mesh, if a constrained edge is provided, intersection edges will be marked as constrained. If an edge that was marked as constrained is split, its sub-edges will be marked as constrained as well.

const cpp11::tuple< NamedParametersOut0, NamedParametersOut1, NamedParametersOut2, NamedParametersOut3 > &  nps_out 
)

#include <CGAL/Polygon_mesh_processing/corefinement.h>

corefines tm1 and tm2 and for each triangle mesh tm_out passed as an optional in output different from boost::none, the triangulated surface mesh bounding the result of a particular Boolean operation between the volumes bounded by tm1 and tm2 will be put in the corresponding triangle mesh.

The positions of the meshes in the array output are specific to the Boolean operation to compute and Corefinement::Boolean_operation_type encodes and describes the ordering. Constructing the default array means that no Boolean operation will be done. Overwriting a default value will trigger the corresponding operation. In such a case, the address to a valid surface mesh must be provided. The optional named parameters for all output meshes are provided as a tuple and follow the same order as the array output. A call to corefine_and_compute_boolean_operations() with optional named parameters passed for output meshes should be done using make_tuple() as the types of named parameters are unspecified.

If tm1 and/or tm2 are part of the output surface meshes, they will be updated to contain the output (in-place operation), in any other case, the corresponding result will be inserted into the mesh without clearing it first.

Parameters
nps_outtuple of optional sequences of Named Parameters each among the ones listed below (tm_out being used to refer to the output surface mesh in output corresponding to a given named parameter sequence)

Returns
an array filled as follows: for each operation computed, the position in the array will contain true iff the output surface mesh is manifold, and it is put in the surface mesh at the same position as in output.
