◆ triangulate_hole()

template<typename PolygonMesh , typename OutputIterator , typename NamedParameters >
OutputIterator CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::triangulate_hole ( PolygonMesh &  pmesh,
typename boost::graph_traits< PolygonMesh >::halfedge_descriptor  border_halfedge,
OutputIterator  out,
const NamedParameters &  np 
)

#include <CGAL/Polygon_mesh_processing/triangulate_hole.h>

triangulates a hole in a polygon mesh.

The hole must not contain any non-manifold vertex, nor self-intersections. The patch generated does not introduce non-manifold edges nor degenerate triangles. If a hole cannot be triangulated, pmesh is not modified and nothing is recorded in out.

Template Parameters
PolygonMesha model of MutableFaceGraph
OutputIteratora model of OutputIterator holding boost::graph_traits<PolygonMesh>::face_descriptor for patch faces.
NamedParametersa sequence of Named Parameters
Parameters
pmeshpolygon mesh containing the hole
border_halfedgea border halfedge incident to the hole
outiterator over patch faces
npan optional sequence of Named Parameters among the ones listed below
Optional Named Parameters
  • a property map associating points to the vertices of pmesh
  • Type: a class model of ReadWritePropertyMap with boost::graph_traits<PolygonMesh>::vertex_descriptor as key type and Point_3 as value type
  • Default: boost::get(CGAL::vertex_point, pmesh)
  • Extra: If this parameter is omitted, an internal property map for CGAL::vertex_point_t must be available in PolygonMesh.

  • an instance of a geometric traits class
  • Type: a class model of Kernel
  • Default: a CGAL Kernel deduced from the point type, using CGAL::Kernel_traits
  • Extra: The geometric traits class must be compatible with the vertex point type.

◆ triangulate_hole_polyline() [1/2]

template<typename PointRange1 , typename PointRange2 , typename OutputIterator , typename NamedParameters >
OutputIterator CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::triangulate_hole_polyline ( const PointRange1 &  points,
const PointRange2 &  third_points,
OutputIterator  out,
const NamedParameters &  np 
)

#include <CGAL/Polygon_mesh_processing/triangulate_hole.h>

creates triangles to fill the hole defined by points in the range points.

Triangles are recorded into out using the indices of the input points in the range points. Note that no degenerate triangles will be produced. If no triangulation can be found, then nothing is recorded in out.

If faces incident to the polyline outside the hole are known, it is recommended to use this function. The point range third_points indicates for each pair of consecutive points in the range points, the third point of the face this segment is incident to. It influences the choice of the best triangulation while avoiding overfolding.

Note that the ranges points and third_points may or may not contain duplicated first point at the end of sequence.

Precondition
third_points.size() == points.size()
Template Parameters
PointRangerange of points, model of Range. Its iterator type is InputIterator.
OutputIteratormodel of OutputIterator, to collect patch faces. A specialization for CGAL::value_type_traits<OutputIterator> must be available, and the corresponding value type type must have a constructor type(int p0, int p1, int p2) available. The indices correspond to the ones of input points in points.
NamedParametersa sequence of Named Parameters
Parameters
pointsthe range of input points
third_pointsthe range of third points
outiterator over output patch triangles, described by indices of points in points
npan optional sequence of Named Parameters among the ones listed below
Optional Named Parameters
  • an instance of a geometric traits class
  • Type: a class model of Kernel
  • Default: a CGAL Kernel deduced from the point type, using CGAL::Kernel_traits
  • Extra: The geometric traits class must be compatible with the vertex point type.

  • If true, use the Delaunay triangulation facet search space.
  • Type: Boolean
  • Default: true
  • Extra: If no valid triangulation can be found in this search space, the algorithm falls back to the non-Delaunay triangulations search space to find a solution.

They are not taken into account in the cost computation that leads the hole filling.
