◆ does_self_intersect() [1/2]

template<class ConcurrencyTag = Sequential_tag, class FaceRange , class TriangleMesh , class NamedParameters >
bool CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::does_self_intersect ( const FaceRange &  face_range,
const TriangleMesh &  tmesh,
const NamedParameters &  np 
)

#include <CGAL/Polygon_mesh_processing/self_intersections.h>

tests if a set of faces of a triangulated surface mesh self-intersects.

This function depends on the package Intersecting Sequences of dD Iso-oriented Boxes

Precondition
CGAL::is_triangle_mesh(tmesh)
Template Parameters
ConcurrencyTagenables sequential versus parallel algorithm. Possible values are Sequential_tag, Parallel_tag, and Parallel_if_available_tag.
FaceRangea range of face_descriptor
TriangleMesha model of FaceListGraph
NamedParametersa sequence of Named Parameters
Parameters
face_rangethe set of faces to test for self-intersection
tmeshthe triangulated surface mesh to be tested
npan optional sequence of Named Parameters among the ones listed below
Optional Named Parameters
  • a property map associating points to the vertices of tmesh
  • Type: a class model of ReadWritePropertyMap with boost::graph_traits<TriangleMesh>::vertex_descriptor as key type and Point_3 as value type
  • Default: boost::get(CGAL::vertex_point, tmesh)
  • Extra: If this parameter is omitted, an internal property map for CGAL::vertex_point_t should be available for the vertices of tmesh.

Returns
true if the faces in face_range self-intersect

#include <CGAL/Polygon_mesh_processing/self_intersections.h>

collects intersections between a subset of faces of a triangulated surface mesh.

Two faces are said to intersect if the corresponding triangles intersect and the intersection is not an edge nor a vertex incident to both faces.

This function depends on the package Intersecting Sequences of dD Iso-oriented Boxes

Precondition
CGAL::is_triangle_mesh(tmesh)
Template Parameters
ConcurrencyTagenables sequential versus parallel algorithm. Possible values are Sequential_tag, Parallel_tag, and Parallel_if_available_tag.
FaceRangea model of ConstRange with value type boost::graph_traits<TriangleMesh>::face_descriptor.
TriangleMesha model of FaceListGraph
FacePairOutputIteratora model of OutputIterator holding objects of type std::pair<boost::graph_traits<TriangleMesh>::face_descriptor, boost::graph_traits<TriangleMesh>::face_descriptor>
NamedParametersa sequence of Named Parameters
Parameters
face_rangethe range of faces to check for self-intersection.
tmeshthe triangulated surface mesh to be checked
outoutput iterator to be filled with all pairs of non-adjacent faces that intersect
npan optional sequence of Named Parameters among the ones listed below
Optional Named Parameters
  • a property map associating points to the vertices of tmesh
  • Type: a class model of ReadWritePropertyMap with boost::graph_traits<TriangleMesh>::vertex_descriptor as key type and Point_3 as value type
  • Default: boost::get(CGAL::vertex_point, tmesh)

◆ self_intersections() [2/2]

FacePairOutputIterator CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::self_intersections ( const TriangleMesh &  tmesh,
FacePairOutputIterator  out,
const NamedParameters &  np 
)

#include <CGAL/Polygon_mesh_processing/self_intersections.h>

collects intersections between all the faces of a triangulated surface mesh.

Two faces are said to intersect if the corresponding triangles intersect and the intersection is not an edge nor a vertex incident to both faces.

This function depends on the package Intersecting Sequences of dD Iso-oriented Boxes

Precondition
CGAL::is_triangle_mesh(tmesh)
Template Parameters
ConcurrencyTagenables sequential versus parallel algorithm. Possible values are Sequential_tag, Parallel_tag, and Parallel_if_available_tag.
TriangleMesha model of FaceListGraph
FacePairOutputIteratora model of OutputIterator holding objects of type std::pair<boost::graph_traits<TriangleMesh>::face_descriptor, boost::graph_traits<TriangleMesh>::face_descriptor>
NamedParametersa sequence of Named Parameters
Parameters
tmeshthe triangulated surface mesh to be checked
outoutput iterator to be filled with all pairs of non-adjacent faces that intersect. In case tmesh contains some degenerate faces, for each degenerate face f a pair (f,f) will be put in out before any other self intersection between non-degenerate faces. These are the only pairs where degenerate faces will be reported.
npan optional sequence of Named Parameters among the ones listed below
Optional Named Parameters
  • a property map associating points to the vertices of tmesh
  • Type: a class model of ReadWritePropertyMap with boost::graph_traits<TriangleMesh>::vertex_descriptor as key type and Point_3 as value type
