CGAL 5.1.2 - 2D Boolean Operations on Nef Polygons Embedded on the Sphere
|
#include <CGAL/Nef_polyhedron_S2.h>
An object c
of type Sphere_circle
is an oriented great circle on the surface of a unit sphere.
Such circles correspond to the intersection of an oriented plane (that contains the origin) and the surface of \( S_2\). The orientation of the great circle is that of a counterclockwise walk along the circle as seen from the positive halfspace of the oriented plane.

CGAL::Nef_polyhedron_S2< Traits >::Sphere_circle::Sphere_circle | ( | const Sphere_point & | p, |
const Sphere_point & | q | ||
) |
If \( p\) and \( q\) are opposite of each other, then we create the unique great circle on \( S_2\) which contains p and q.
This circle is oriented such that a walk along c
meets \( p\) just before the shorter segment between \( p\) and \( q\). If \( p\) and \( q\) are opposite of each other then we create any great circle that contains \( p\) and \( q\).
CGAL::Nef_polyhedron_S2< Traits >::Sphere_circle::Sphere_circle | ( | const Plane_3 & | h | ) |
creates the circle corresponding to the plane h
.
h
contains the origin. CGAL::Nef_polyhedron_S2< Traits >::Sphere_circle::Sphere_circle | ( | Sphere_circle | c, |
const Sphere_point & | p | ||
) |
creates a great circle orthogonal to \( c\) that contains \( p\).
