Special types

The following two number types are only needed for CGAL::Min_annulus_d<Traits> and CGAL::Polytope_distance_d<Traits>.

typedef unspecified_type ET
 exact number type used to do the exact computations in the underlying solver for linear programs. More...
 
typedef unspecified_type NT
 fast (possibly inexact) number type used to speed up the pricing step in the underlying solver for linear programs. More...

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ ET

exact number type used to do the exact computations in the underlying solver for linear programs.

It has to to be a model for RingNumberType. There must be an implicit conversion from RT to ET available.

◆ FT

number type used to return either the squared radius of the smallest enclosing sphere or annulus, or the squared distance of the polytopes.

FT has to be either RT or CGAL::Quotient<RT> if the input points have Cartesian or homogeneous representation, respectively (cf. Rep_tag).

◆ NT

fast (possibly inexact) number type used to speed up the pricing step in the underlying solver for linear programs.

It has to be a model for RingNumberType. There must be implicit conversions from RT to NT and from NT to ET available.

◆ Rep_tag

compile time tag to distinguish between Cartesian and homogeneous representation of the input points.

Rep_tag has to be either CGAL::Cartesian_tag or CGAL::Homogeneous_tag.

◆ RT

number type used to represent the coordinates of the input points.

It has to be a model for RingNumberType.
