◆ rational_rotation_approximation()

template<RingNumberType >
void CGAL::rational_rotation_approximation ( const RingNumberType &  dirx,
const RingNumberType &  diry,
RingNumberType &  sin_num,
RingNumberType &  cos_num,
RingNumberType &  denom,
const RingNumberType &  eps_num,
const RingNumberType &  eps_den 
)

#include <CGAL/rational_rotation.h>

computes integers sin_num, cos_num and denom, such that sin_num/denom approximates the sine of direction \( (\)dirx,diry \( )\).

The difference between the sine and the approximating rational is bounded by eps_num/eps_den.

Precondition
eps_num \( \neq0\).

Implementation

The approximation is based on Farey sequences as described in the rational rotation method presented by Canny and Ressler at the 8th SoCG 1992. We use a slower version which needs no division operation in the approximation.
