Function Documentation

bool CGAL::do_intersect	(	Type1< Kernel >	obj1,
		Type2< Kernel >	obj2
	)

checks whether obj1 and obj2 intersect.

Two objects obj1 and obj2 intersect if there is a point p that is part of both obj1 and obj2. The intersection region of those two objects is defined as the set of all points p that are part of both obj1 and obj2. Note that for objects like triangles and polygons that enclose a bounded region, this region is part of the object.

The types Type1 and Type2 can be any of the following:

• Point_2<Kernel>
• Line_2<Kernel>
• Ray_2<Kernel>
• Segment_2<Kernel>
• Triangle_2<Kernel>
• Iso_rectangle_2<Kernel>

Also, Type1 and Type2 can be both of type

• Line_2<Kernel>
• Circle_2<Kernel>

In three-dimensional space, the types Type1 and Type2 can be any of the following:

• Plane_3<Kernel>
• Line_3<Kernel>
• Ray_3<Kernel>
• Segment_3<Kernel>
• Triangle_3<Kernel>.
• Bbox_3.

Also, Type1 and Type2 can be respectively of types

• Triangle_3<Kernel> and Tetrahedron_3<Kernel>
• Plane_3<Kernel> and Sphere_3<Kernel> (or the contrary)
• Sphere_3<Kernel> and Sphere_3<Kernel>.
