Definition

All convex hull and extreme point algorithms provided in CGAL are parameterized with a traits class Traits, which defines the primitives (objects and predicates) that the convex hull algorithms use. ConvexHullTraits_2 defines the complete set of primitives required in these functions. The specific subset of these primitives required by each function is specified with each function.

Has Models:

CGAL::Convex_hull_constructive_traits_2<R>

CGAL::Convex_hull_traits_2<R>

CGAL::Convex_hull_traits_adapter_2<R>

CGAL::Projection_traits_xy_3<K>

CGAL::Projection_traits_yz_3 <K>

CGAL::Projection_traits_xz_3<K>

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Equal_2

typedef unspecified_type ConvexHullTraits_2::Equal_2

Binary predicate object type comparing Point_2s.

Must provide bool operator()(Point_2 p, Point_2 q) where true is returned iff \( p ==_{xy} q\), false otherwise.

◆ Less_rotate_ccw_2

typedef unspecified_type ConvexHullTraits_2::Less_rotate_ccw_2

Predicate object type that must provide bool operator()(Point_2 e, Point_2 p,Point_2 q), where true is returned iff a tangent at \( e\) to the point set \( \{e,p,q\}\) hits \( p\) before \( q\) when rotated counterclockwise around \( e\).

Ties are broken such that the point with larger distance to \( e\) is smaller!

◆ Less_signed_distance_to_line_2

typedef unspecified_type ConvexHullTraits_2::Less_signed_distance_to_line_2

Predicate object type that must provide bool operator()(Point_2 p, Point_2 q, Point_2 r,Point_2 s), which returns true iff the signed distance from \( r\) to the line \( l_{pq}\) through \( p\) and \( q\) is smaller than the distance from \( s\) to \( l_{pq}\).

It is used to compute the point right of a line with maximum unsigned distance to the line. The predicate must provide a total order compatible with convexity, i.e., for any line segment \( s\) one of the endpoints of \( s\) is the smallest point among the points on \( s\), with respect to the order given by Less_signed_distance_to_line_2.

◆ Less_xy_2

typedef unspecified_type ConvexHullTraits_2::Less_xy_2

Binary predicate object type comparing Point_2s lexicographically.

Must provide bool operator()(Point_2 p, Point_2 q) where true is returned iff \( p <_{xy} q\). We have \( p<_{xy}q\), iff \( p_x < q_x\) or \( p_x = q_x\) and \( p_y < q_y\), where \( p_x\) and \( p_y\) denote \( x\) and \( y\) coordinate of point \( p\), respectively.
