Definition

An object arr of the class Arrangement_with_history_2 represents the planar subdivision induced by a set of input curves \( \cal C\). The arrangement is represented as a doubly-connected edge-list (DCEL). As is the case for the Arrangement_2<Traits,Dcel>, each DCEL vertex is associated with a point and each edge is associated with an \( x\)-monotone curve whose interior is disjoint from all other edges and vertices. Each such \( x\)-monotone curve is a subcurve of some \( C \in \cal C\) - or may represent an overlap among several curves in \( \cal C\).

The Arrangement_with_history_2 class-template extends the Arrangement_2 class-template by keeping an additional container of input curves representing \( \cal C\), and by maintaining a cross-mapping between these curves and the arrangement edges they induce. This way it is possible to determine the inducing curve(s) of each arrangement edge. This mapping also allows the traversal of input curves, and the traversal of edges induced by each curve.

The Arrangement_with_history_2 template has two parameters:

  • The Traits template-parameter should be instantiated with a model of the ArrangementTraits_2 concept. The traits class defines the Curve_2 type, which represents an input curve. It also defines the types of \( x\)-monotone curves and two-dimensional points, namely ArrangementTraits_2::X_monotone_curve_2 and ArrangementTraits_2::Point_2, respectively, and supports basic geometric predicates on them.
  • The Dcel template-parameter should be instantiated with a class that is a model of the ArrangementDcelWithRebind concept. The value of this parameter is by default Arr_default_dcel<Traits>.

Member Function Documentation

◆ merge_edge()

template<typename Traits , typename Dcel >
Halfedge_handle CGAL::Arrangement_with_history_2< Traits, Dcel >::merge_edge ( Halfedge_handle  e1,
Halfedge_handle  e2 
)

merges the edges represented by e1 and e2 into a single edge.

The function returns a handle for one of the merged halfedges.

Precondition
e1 and e2 share a common end-vertex, of degree \( 2\), and the \( x\)-monotone curves associated with e1 and e2 are mergeable into a single \( x\)-monotone curves.

◆ remove_edge()

template<typename Traits , typename Dcel >
Face_handle CGAL::Arrangement_with_history_2< Traits, Dcel >::remove_edge ( Halfedge_handle  e,
bool  remove_source = true,
bool  remove_target = true 
)

removes the edge e from the arrangement.

Since the e may be the only edge incident to its source vertex (or its target vertex), this vertex can be removed as well. The flags remove_source and remove_target indicate whether the endpoints of e should be removed, or whether they should be left as isolated vertices in the arrangement. If the operation causes two faces to merge, the merged face is returned. Otherwise, the face to which the edge was incident is returned.

◆ split_edge()

template<typename Traits , typename Dcel >
Halfedge_handle CGAL::Arrangement_with_history_2< Traits, Dcel >::split_edge ( Halfedge_handle  e,
const Point_2 p 
)

splits the edge e into two edges (more precisely, into two halfedge pairs), at a given split point p.

The function returns a handle for the halfedge whose source is the same as e->source() and whose target vertex is the split point.

Precondition
p lies in the interior of the curve associated with e.
