Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Closest_point

A functor object to compute closest point from the query on a primitive.

Provides the operator: Point_3 operator()(const Query& query, const Primitive& primitive, const Point_3 & closest); which returns the closest point to query, among closest and all points of the primitive.

◆ Compare_distance

A functor object to compute distance comparisons between the query and the nodes of the tree.

Provides the operators:

  • bool operator()(const Query & query, const Bounding_box& box, const Point & closest); which returns true iff the bounding box is closer to query than closest is
  • bool operator()(const Query & query, const Primitive & primitive, const Point & closest); which returns true iff primitive is closer to the query than closest is

◆ Compute_bbox

A functor object to compute the bounding box of a set of primitives.

Provides the operator: Bounding_box operator()(Input_iterator begin, Input_iterator beyond); Iterator type InputIterator must have Primitive as value type.

◆ Do_intersect

A functor object to compute intersection predicates between the query and the nodes of the tree.

Provides the operators:

  • bool operator()(const Query & q, const Bounding_box & box); which returns true iff the query intersects the bounding box
  • bool operator()(const Query & q, const Primitive & primitive); which returns true iff the query intersects the primitive

◆ Equal_3

A functor object to compare two points.

Provides the operator: bool operator()(const Point_3& p, const Point_3& q);} which returns true if p is equal to q.

◆ Intersection

A functor object to compute the intersection of a query and a primitive.

Provides the operator: boost::optional<Intersection_and_primitive_id<Query>::Type > operator()(const Query & q, const Primitive& primitive); which returns the intersection as a pair composed of an object and a primitive id, iff the query intersects the primitive.

Note on Backward Compatibility
Before the release 4.3 of CGAL, the return type of this function used to be boost::optional<Object_and_primitive_id>.

◆ Intersection_and_primitive_id

A nested class template providing as a pair the intersection result of a Query object and a Primitive::Datum, together with the Primitive::Id of the primitive intersected.

The type of the pair is Intersection_and_primitive_id<Query>::Type.

◆ Object_and_primitive_id

typedef std::pair<Object, Primitive::Id> AABBTraits::Object_and_primitive_id
Deprecated:
This requirement is deprecated and is no longer needed.

◆ Primitive

Type of primitive.

Must be a model of the concepts AABBPrimitive or AABBPrimitiveWithSharedData.

◆ Split_primitives

A functor object to split a range of primitives into two sub-ranges along the longest axis.

Provides the operator: void operator()(InputIterator first, InputIterator beyond); Iterator type InputIterator must be a model of RandomAccessIterator and have Primitive as value type. The operator is used for determining the primitives assigned to the two children nodes of a given node, assuming that the goal is to split the chosen axis dimension of the bounding box of the node. The primitives assigned to this node are passed as argument to the operator. It should modify the iterator range in such a way that its first half and its second half correspond to the two children nodes.

◆ Squared_distance

A functor object to compute the squared distance between two points.

Provides the operator: FT operator()(const Point& query, const Point_3 & p); which returns the squared distance between p and q.

◆ set_shared_data()

template<class ... T>
void AABBTraits::set_shared_data ( T ...  t)

the signature of that function must be the same as the static function Primitive::construct_shared_data.

The type Primitive expects that the data constructed by a call to Primitive::construct_shared_data(t...) is the one given back when accessing the reference point and the datum of a primitive.
