CGAL 5.4.2 - Weights

#include <CGAL/Weights/cotangent_weights.h>

This weight is computed as \(w = 2 (\cot\beta + \cot\gamma)\) with notations shown in the figure below.

Here, q is a query point and the points p0, p1, and p2 are its neighbors.

Alternative formulations are explained in Implementation.

Function Documentation

◆ half_cotangent_weight()

template<typename FT >
FT CGAL::Weights::half_cotangent_weight ( const FT  cot)

#include <CGAL/Weights/cotangent_weights.h>

computes the half value of the cotangent weight.

This function constructs the half of the cotangent weight using the precomputed cotangent value. The returned value is \(2\textbf{cot}\).

Template Parameters
FTa model of FieldNumberType
Parameters
cotthe cotangent value
