CGAL 5.4 - 2D Envelopes
EnvelopeDiagramEdge Concept Reference

Definition

An edge record in an envelope diagram, which represents a continuous portion of the \( x\)-axis. It is associated with a (possibly empty) set of curves that induce the envelope over this portion of the \( x\)-axis. Note that all curves in this set overlap over the interval represented by the edge.
