Definition

The class Delaunay_triangulation_2 is designed to represent the Delaunay triangulation of a set of points in a plane.

A Delaunay triangulation of a set of points is a triangulation of the sets of points that fulfills the following empty circle property (also called Delaunay property): the circumscribing circle of any facet of the triangulation contains no point of the set in its interior. For a point set with no case of co-circularity of more than three points, the Delaunay triangulation is unique, it is the dual of the Voronoi diagram of the points.

Template Parameters
Tdsmust be a model of TriangulationDataStructure_2. CGAL provides a default instantiation for this parameter, which is the class CGAL::Triangulation_data_structure_2 < CGAL::Triangulation_vertex_base_2<Traits>, CGAL::Triangulation_face_base_2<Traits> >.
Traitsmust be a model of DelaunayTriangulationTraits_2. The concept DelaunayTriangulationTraits_2 refines the concept TriangulationTraits_2, providing a predicate type to check the empty circle property.

Changing this predicate type allows the user to build Delaunay triangulations for different metrics such that \( L_1\) or \( L_{\infty}\) or any metric defined by a convex object. However, the user of an exotic metric must be careful that the constructed triangulation has to be a triangulation of the convex hull which means that convex hull edges have to be Delaunay edges. This is granted for any smooth convex metric (like \( L_2\)) and can be ensured for other metrics (like \( L_{\infty}\)) by the addition to the point set of well chosen sentinel points. The concept of DelaunayTriangulationTraits_2 is described DelaunayTriangulationTraits_2.

When dealing with a large triangulations, the user is advised to encapsulate the Delaunay triangulation class into a triangulation hierarchy, which means to use the class Triangulation_hierarchy_2<Tr> with the template parameter instantiated with Delaunay_triangulation_2. The triangulation hierarchy will then offer the same functionalities but be much more for efficient for locations and insertions.

Types

All the types defined in Triangulation_2<Traits,Tds> are inherited.

Implementation

Insertion is implemented by inserting in the triangulation, then performing a sequence of Delaunay flips. The number of flips is \( O(d)\) if the new vertex is of degree \( d\) in the new triangulation. For points distributed uniformly at random, insertion takes time \( O(1)\) on average.

Removal calls the removal in the triangulation and then re-triangulates the hole in such a way that the Delaunay criterion is satisfied. Removal of a vertex of degree \( d\) takes time \( O(d^2)\). The degree \( d\) is \( O(1)\) for a random vertex in the triangulation.

After a point location step, the nearest neighbor is found in time \( O(n)\) in the worst case, but in time \( O(1)\) for vertices distributed uniformly at random and any query point.

Insertion and Removal

The following insertion and removal functions overwrite the functions inherited from the class Triangulation_2<Traits,Tds> to maintain the Delaunay property.

In the degenerate case when there are co-circular points, the Delaunay triangulation is known not to be uniquely defined. In this case, CGAL chooses a particular Delaunay triangulation using a symbolic perturbation scheme [2]. Note that the other modifier functions of Triangulation_2<Traits,Tds> are not overwritten. Thus a call to Triangulation_2::insert_in_face() insert_in_face() insert_in_edge(), insert_outside_convex_hull(), insert_outside_affine_hull() or flip() on a valid Delaunay triangulation might lead to a triangulation which is no longer a Delaunay triangulation.

same as get_conflicts_and_boundary() except that only the faces in conflict with p are output. The function returns the resulting output iterator.

template<typename Traits , typename Tds >

This function outputs in the container pointed to by fit the faces which are in conflict with point p, i. e., the faces whose circumcircle contains p. It outputs in the container pointed to by eit the the boundary of the zone in conflict with p. The boundary edges of the conflict zone are output in counter-clockwise order and each edge is described through its incident face which is not in conflict with p. The function returns in a std::pair the resulting output iterators.

Vertex_handle CGAL::Delaunay_triangulation_2< Traits, Tds >::insert ( const Point p,
Face_handle  f = Face_handle()

template<typename Traits , typename Tds >
template<class PointInputIterator >
std::ptrdiff_t CGAL::Delaunay_triangulation_2< Traits, Tds >::insert ( PointInputIterator  first,
PointInputIterator  last 
)

inserts the points in the range [first,last).

Returns the number of inserted points. Note that this function is not guaranteed to insert the points following the order of PointInputIterator, as spatial_sort() is used to improve efficiency.

Template Parameters
PointInputIteratormust be an input iterator with the value type Point.

◆ insert() [4/4]

template<typename Traits , typename Tds >
template<class PointWithInfoInputIterator >
std::ptrdiff_t CGAL::Delaunay_triangulation_2< Traits, Tds >::insert ( PointWithInfoInputIterator  first,
PointWithInfoInputIterator  last 
)

inserts the points in the iterator range [first,last).

Returns the number of inserted points. Note that this function is not guaranteed to insert the points following the order of PointWithInfoInputIterator, as spatial_sort() is used to improve efficiency. Given a pair (p,i), the vertex v storing p also stores i, that is v.point() == p and v.info() == i. If several pairs have the same point, only one vertex is created, and one of the objects of type Vertex::Info will be stored in the vertex.

)

same as move_if_no_collision(), if there is no collision.

Otherwise, v is deleted and the vertex placed on p is returned.

Precondition
Vertex v must be finite.

◆ move_if_no_collision()

template<typename Traits , typename Tds >
Vertex_handle CGAL::Delaunay_triangulation_2< Traits, Tds >::move_if_no_collision ( Vertex_handle  v,
const Point p 
)

if there is not already another vertex placed on p, the triangulation is modified such that the new position of vertex v is p, and v is returned.

Otherwise, the triangulation is not modified and the vertex at point p is returned.

Precondition
Vertex v must be finite.

◆ nearest_vertex()

template<typename Traits , typename Tds >
Vertex_handle CGAL::Delaunay_triangulation_2< Traits, Tds >::nearest_vertex ( const Point p,
Face_handle  f = Face_handle() 
) const

returns any nearest vertex of p.

The implemented function begins with a location step and f may be used to initialize the location.
