PolyhedronTraits_3 Concept Reference

Definition

Required types and member functions for the PolyhedronTraits_3 concept. This geometric traits concept is used in the polyhedral surface data structure CGAL::Polyhedron_3<Traits>. Any CGAL kernel is a model of this concept and can be used directly as template argument.

Refines:

CopyConstructible

Assignable

Has Models:

CGAL::Polyhedron_traits_3<Kernel>

CGAL::Polyhedron_traits_with_normals_3<Kernel>

All models of the CGAL::Kernel concept, e.g., CGAL::Simple_cartesian<FieldNumberType>

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef unspecified_type PolyhedronTraits_3::Construct_opposite_plane_3

is an unary function object that reverses the plane orientation.

Must provide Plane_3 operator()(Plane_3 plane) that returns the reversed plane. Required only if plane equations are supported and the inside_out() method is used to reverse the polyhedral surface orientation.

typedef unspecified_type PolyhedronTraits_3::Plane_3

plane equation.

Even if plane equations are not supported with a particular polyhedral surface this type has to be defined (some dummy type).
