TriangulationTraits_3 Concept Reference

Definition

Refines:
SpatialSortingTraits_3

The concept TriangulationTraits_3 is the first template parameter of the class Triangulation_3. It defines the geometric objects (points, segments, triangles and tetrahedra) forming the triangulation together with a few geometric predicates and constructions on these objects: lexicographical comparison, orientation in case of coplanar points and orientation in space.

All models of Kernel.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Compare_xyz_3

A predicate object that must provide the function operator.

Comparison_result operator()(Point_3 p, Point_3 q),

which returns EQUAL if the two points are equal. Otherwise it must return a consistent order for any two points chosen in a same line.

◆ Construct_point_3

A constructor object that must provide the function operator.

Point_3 operator()(Point_3 p),

which simply returns p.

Note
It is advised to return a const reference to p to avoid useless copies.
This peculiar requirement is necessary because CGAL::Triangulation_3 internally manipulates points with a Point type that is not always Point_3.

◆ Construct_segment_3

A constructor object that must provide the function operator.

Segment_3 operator()(Point_3 p, Point_3 q),

which constructs a segment from two points.

◆ Construct_tetrahedron_3

A constructor object that must provide the function operator.

Tetrahedron_3 operator()(Point_3 p, Point_3 q, Point_3 r, Point_3 s),

which constructs a tetrahedron from four points.

◆ Construct_triangle_3

A constructor object that must provide the function operator.

Triangle_3 operator()(Point_3 p, Point_3 q, Point_3 r ),

which constructs a triangle from three points.

◆ Coplanar_orientation_3

A predicate object that must provide the function operator.

Orientation operator()(Point_3 p, Point_3 q, Point_3 r),

which returns COLLINEAR if the points are collinear. Otherwise it must return a consistent orientation for any three points chosen in a same plane.

◆ Orientation_3

A predicate object that must provide the function operator.

Orientation operator()(Point_3 p, Point_3 q, Point_3 r, Point_3 s),

which returns POSITIVE, if s lies on the positive side of the oriented plane h defined by p, q, and r, returns NEGATIVE if s lies on the negative side of h, and returns COPLANAR if s lies on h.
