## Definition

An object t of the class Tetrahedron_3 is an oriented tetrahedron in the three-dimensional Euclidean space $$\E^3$$.

It is defined by four vertices $$p_0$$, $$p_1$$, $$p_2$$ and $$p_3$$. The orientation of a tetrahedron is the orientation of its four vertices. That means it is positive when $$p_3$$ is on the positive side of the plane defined by $$p_0$$, $$p_1$$ and $$p_2$$.

The tetrahedron itself splits the space $$\E^3$$ in a positive and a negative side.

The boundary of a tetrahedron splits the space in two open regions, a bounded one and an unbounded one.

Kernel::Tetrahedron_3

## Creation

Tetrahedron_3 (const Point_3< Kernel > &p0, const Point_3< Kernel > &p1, const Point_3< Kernel > &p2, const Point_3< Kernel > &p3)
introduces a tetrahedron t with vertices p0, p1, p2 and p3.

## Operations

bool operator== (const Tetrahedron_3< Kernel > &t2) const
Test for equality: two tetrahedra t and t2 are equal, iff t and t2 have the same orientation and their sets (not sequences) of vertices are equal.

bool operator!= (const Tetrahedron_3< Kernel > &t2) const
Test for inequality.

Point_3< Kernelvertex (int i) const
returns the i'th vertex modulo 4 of t.

Point_3< Kerneloperator[] (int i) const
returns vertex(int i).
