TriangulationTraits_3 Concept Reference

Definition

The concept TriangulationTraits_3 is the first template parameter of the class Triangulation_3. It defines the geometric objects (points, segments, triangles and tetrahedra) forming the triangulation together with a few geometric predicates and constructions on these objects : lexicographical comparison, orientation in case of coplanar points and orientation in space.

typedef unspecified_type TriangulationTraits_3::Compare_xyz_3

A predicate object that must provide the function operator.

Comparison_result operator()(Point p, Point q),

which returns EQUAL if the two points are equal. Otherwise it must return a consistent order for any two points chosen in a same line.

typedef unspecified_type TriangulationTraits_3::Construct_segment_3

A constructor object that must provide the function operator.

Segment_3 operator()(Point_3 p, Point_3 q),

which constructs a segment from two points.

typedef unspecified_type TriangulationTraits_3::Construct_tetrahedron_3

A constructor object that must provide the function operator.

Tetrahedron_3 operator()(Point_3 p, Point_3 q, Point_3 r, Point_3 s),

which constructs a tetrahedron from four points.

typedef unspecified_type TriangulationTraits_3::Construct_triangle_3

A constructor object that must provide the function operator.

Triangle_3 operator()(Point_3 p, Point_3 q, Point_3 r ),

which constructs a triangle from three points.

typedef unspecified_type TriangulationTraits_3::Coplanar_orientation_3

A predicate object that must provide the function operator.

Orientation operator()(Point p, Point q, Point r),

which returns COLLINEAR if the points are collinear. Otherwise it must return a consistent orientation for any three points chosen in a same plane.

typedef unspecified_type TriangulationTraits_3::Orientation_3

A predicate object that must provide the function operator.

Orientation operator()(Point p, Point q, Point r, Point s),

which returns POSITIVE, if s lies on the positive side of the oriented plane h defined by p, q, and r, returns NEGATIVE if s lies on the negative side of h, and returns COPLANAR if s lies on h.

typedef unspecified_type TriangulationTraits_3::Point_3

The point type.

It must be DefaultConstructible, CopyConstructible and Assignable.
