Intersection Detection Functions

Functions to detect intersections.

Note that those functions will be exact as long as the underlying do-intersect predicates used are exact. In practice, it means that the 3D point type used must come from a CGAL kernel with exact predicates.

◆ do_intersect() [1/5]

template<class PolylineRange >
bool CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::do_intersect ( const PolylineRange &  polylines1,
const PolylineRange &  polylines2 
)

#include <CGAL/Polygon_mesh_processing/intersection.h>

returns true if there exists a segment of a polyline of polylines1 and a segment of a polyline of polylines2 which intersect, and false otherwise.

This function depends on the package Intersecting Sequences of dD Iso-oriented Boxes.

Template Parameters
PolylineRangea RandomAccessRange of RandomAccessRange of points. The point type must be from a 3D point from a CGAL Kernel. A polyline is defined as a sequence of points, each pair of contiguous points defines a segment of the polyline. If the first and last points of the polyline are identical, the polyline is closed.
Parameters
polylines1the first range of polylines to check for intersections.
polylines2the second range of polylines to check for intersections.

◆ do_intersect() [2/5]

template<class Polyline >
bool CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::do_intersect ( const Polyline &  polyline1,
const Polyline &  polyline2 
)

#include <CGAL/Polygon_mesh_processing/intersection.h>

returns true if there exists a segment of polyline1 and a segment of polyline2 which intersect, and false otherwise.

This function depends on the package Intersecting Sequences of dD Iso-oriented Boxes.

Template Parameters
Polylinea RandomAccessRange of points. The point type must be from a 3D point type from CGAL Kernel. A polyline is defined as a sequence of points, each pair of contiguous points defines a segment of the polyline. If the first and last points of the polyline are identical, the polyline is closed.
Parameters
polyline1the first polyline to check for intersections.
polyline2the second polyline to check for intersections.

◆ do_intersect() [3/5]

template<class TriangleMesh , class NamedParameters1 , class NamedParameters2 >
bool CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::do_intersect ( const TriangleMesh &  tm1,
const TriangleMesh &  tm2,
const NamedParameters1 &  np1,
const NamedParameters2 &  np2 
)

#include <CGAL/Polygon_mesh_processing/intersection.h>

returns true if there exists a face of tm1 and a face of tm2 which intersect, and false otherwise.

If do_overlap_test_of_bounded_sides is set to true, the overlap of bounded sides are tested as well. In that case, the meshes must be closed. This function depends on the package Intersecting Sequences of dD Iso-oriented Boxes.

#include <CGAL/Polygon_mesh_processing/intersection.h>

detects and reports all the pairs of meshes intersecting in a range of triangulated surface meshes.

A pair of meshes intersecting is put in the output iterator out as a std::pair<std::size_t, std::size_t>, each index refering to the index of the triangle mesh in the input range. If do_overlap_test_of_bounded_sides is true, the overlap of bounded sides are tested as well. In that case, the meshes must be closed. This function depends on the package Intersecting Sequences of dD Iso-oriented Boxes.
