Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Points_on_segment_2()

template<typename Point_2 >
CGAL::Points_on_segment_2< Point_2 >::Points_on_segment_2 ( const Point_2 p,
const Point_2 q,
std::size_t  n,
std::size_t  i = 0 
)

creates an input iterator g generating points of type P equally spaced on the segment from \( p\) to \( q\).

\( n-i\) points are placed on the segment defined by \( p\) and \( q\). Values of the index parameter \( i\) larger than 0 indicate starting points for the sequence further from \( p\). Point \( p\) has index value 0 and \( q\) has index value \( n-1\).

The expressions to_double(p.x()) and to_double(p.y()) must result in the respective double representation of the coordinates of \( p\), and similarly for \( q\).
