This package consits of functions that computes the lower (or upper) envelope of a set of arbitrary curves in 2D. The output is represented as an envelope diagram, namely a subdivision of the \( x\)-axis into intervals, such that the identity of the curves that induce the envelope on each interval is unique.

This package consists of functions that compute the lower (or upper) envelope of a set of arbitrary curves in 2D. The output is represented as an envelope diagram, namely a subdivision of the \( x\)-axis into intervals, such that the identity of the curves that induce the envelope over each interval is unique.

◆ lower_envelope_2()

template<class InputIterator , class EnvelopeDiagram >
void CGAL::lower_envelope_2 ( InputIterator  begin,
InputIterator  end,
EnvelopeDiagram &  diag 
)

#include <CGAL/envelope_2.h>

Computes the lower envelope of a set of curves in \( \mathbb{R}^2\), as given by the range [begin, end).

The lower envelope is represented using the output minimization diagram diag.

Template Parameters
InputIteratormust be an input iterator with value type EnvelopeDiagram::Traits_2::Curve_2.
EnvelopeDiagrammust be a model of the concept EnvelopeDiagram_1.
Examples:
Envelope_2/envelope_circles.cpp.

template<class InputIterator , class EnvelopeDiagram >
void CGAL::lower_envelope_x_monotone_2 ( InputIterator  begin,
InputIterator  end,
EnvelopeDiagram &  diag 
)

#include <CGAL/envelope_2.h>

Computes the lower envelope of a set of \( x\)-monotone curves in \( \mathbb{R}^2\), as given by the range [begin, end).

The lower envelope is represented using the output minimization diagram diag.

Template Parameters
InputIteratormust be an input iterator with value type EnvelopeDiagram::X_monotone_curve_2.
EnvelopeDiagrammust be a model of the concept EnvelopeDiagram_1.
Examples:
Envelope_2/convex_hull_2.cpp, and Envelope_2/envelope_segments.cpp.

◆ lower_envelope_x_monotone_2() [2/2]

template<class InputIterator , class EnvelopeDiagram , class Traits >
void CGAL::lower_envelope_x_monotone_2 ( InputIterator  begin,
InputIterator  end,
EnvelopeDiagram &  diag,
const Traits &  traits 
)

#include <CGAL/envelope_2.h>

Computes the lower envelope of a set of \( x\)-monotone curves in \( \mathbb{R}^2\), as given by the range [begin, end) with the help of the arrangement traits object traits responsible for their creation.

Reusing the same traits object improves speed if the traits class caches data. The lower envelope is represented using the output minimization diagram diag.
