Definition

An object r of the data type Ray_3 is a directed straight ray in the three-dimensional Euclidean space \( \E^3\).

It starts in a point called the source of r and it goes to infinity.

Is Model Of:
Kernel::Ray_3

Creation

 Ray_3 (const Point_3< Kernel > &p, const Point_3< Kernel > &q)
 introduces a ray r with source p and passing through point q.
 
 Ray_3 (const Point_3< Kernel > &p, const Direction_3< Kernel > &d)
 introduces a ray r with source p and with direction d.
 
 Ray_3 (const Point_3< Kernel > &p, const Vector_3< Kernel > &v)
 introduces a ray r with source p and with a direction given by v.
 
 Ray_3 (const Point_3< Kernel > &p, const Line_3< Kernel > &l)
 introduces a ray r starting at source p with the same direction as l.
 

Operations

bool operator== (const Ray_3< Kernel > &h) const
 Test for equality: two rays are equal, iff they have the same source and the same direction.
 
bool operator!= (const Ray_3< Kernel > &h) const
 Test for inequality.
 
Point_3< Kernel > source () const
 returns the source of r
 
Point_3< Kernel > point (const Kernel::FT i) const
 returns a point on r. More...
 
Direction_3< Kernel > direction () const
 returns the direction of r.
 
Vector_3< Kernel > to_vector () const
 returns a vector giving the direction of r.
 
Line_3< Kernel > supporting_line () const
 returns the line supporting r which has the same direction.
 
Ray_3< Kernel > opposite () const
 returns the ray with the same source and the opposite direction.
 
bool is_degenerate () const
 ray r is degenerate, if the source and the second defining point fall together (that is if the direction is degenerate).
 
bool has_on (const Point_3< Kernel > &p) const
 A point is on r, iff it is equal to the source of r, or if it is in the interior of r.
 
Ray_3< Kernel > transform (const Aff_transformation_3< Kernel > &t) const
 returns the ray obtained by applying t on the source and on the direction of r.

◆ point()

template<typename Kernel >
Point_3<Kernel> CGAL::Ray_3< Kernel >::point ( const Kernel::FT  i) const

returns a point on r.

point(0) is the source. point(i), with i>0, is different from the source.

Precondition
\( i \geq0\).
