CGAL::Fixed_alpha_shape_3< Dt > Class Template Reference
3D Alpha Shapes Reference

#include <CGAL/Fixed_alpha_shape_3.h>

Inherits from

Dt.

Definition

The class Fixed_alpha_shape_3 represents one (fixed) alpha shape of points in the 3D space for a real \( \alpha\).

It maintains an underlying triangulation of the class Dt which represents connectivity and order among its faces. Each \( k\)-dimensional face of the Dt is associated with a classification that specifies its status in the alpha complex, alpha being fixed.

Note that this class can be used at the same time to build a basic or a weighted Alpha Shape.

The modifying functions insert and remove will overwrite the one inherited from the underlying triangulation class Dt. At the moment, only the static version is implemented.

I/O

The I/O operators are defined for iostream, and for the window stream provided by CGAL. The format for the iostream is an internal format.

Examples:
Alpha_shapes_3/ex_fixed_weighted_alpha_shapes_3.cpp.

Member Typedef Documentation

template<typename Dt >
typedef unspecified_type CGAL::Fixed_alpha_shape_3< Dt >::Gt

the alpha shape traits type.

It has to derive from a triangulation traits class. For example Dt::Point is a Point class.

Member Enumeration Documentation

template<typename Dt >
enum CGAL::Fixed_alpha_shape_3::Classification_type

Enum to classify the simplices of the underlying triangulation with respect to a given alpha value.

Each k-dimensional simplex of the triangulation can be classified as EXTERIOR, SINGULAR, REGULAR or INTERIOR. A \( k\) simplex is REGULAR if it is on the boundary of the alpha complex and belongs to a \( k+1\) simplex in this complex and it is SINGULAR if it is a boundary simplex that is not included in a \( k+1\) simplex of the complex.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename Dt >
CGAL::Fixed_alpha_shape_3< Dt >::Fixed_alpha_shape_3 ( Dt &  dt,
FT  alpha = 0 
)

Builds a fixed alpha shape from the triangulation dt, and sets the alpha value to alpha.

Attention
This operation destroys the triangulation.
template<typename Dt >
template<class InputIterator >
CGAL::Fixed_alpha_shape_3< Dt >::Fixed_alpha_shape_3 ( InputIterator  first,
InputIterator  last,
const FT &  alpha = 0 
)

Builds a fixed alpha shape for the points in the range [first,last) and sets the alpha value to alpha.

Template Parameters
InputIteratormust be an input iterator with value type Point (the type point of the underlying triangulation.)

template<typename Dt >
Vertex_handle CGAL::Fixed_alpha_shape_3< Dt >::insert ( Point  p,
Cell_handle  start = Cell_handle()

Inserts point p in the underlying triangulation and returns the corresponding vertex.

The optional argument start is used as a starting place for the search. The classification types of the new simplices are computed and that of the simplices incident to the new ones are updated.

template<typename Dt >
void CGAL::Fixed_alpha_shape_3< Dt >::remove ( Vertex_handle  v)

Removes the vertex v from the underlying triangulation.

The classification types of new simplices and their incident faces are set or reset.
