CGAL::Circle_2< Kernel > Class Template Reference

#include <CGAL/Circle_2.h>

Definition

An object c of type Circle_2 is a circle in the two-dimensional Euclidean plane \( \E^2\).

The circle is oriented, i.e. its boundary has clockwise or counterclockwise orientation. The boundary splits \( \E^2\) into a positive and a negative side, where the positive side is to the left of the boundary. The boundary also splits \( \E^2\) into a bounded and an unbounded side. Note that the circle can be degenerated, i.e. the squared radius may be zero.
