◆ clip() [1/3]

template<class TriangleMesh , class NamedParameters1 = parameters::Default_named_parameters, class NamedParameters2 = parameters::Default_named_parameters>

bool CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::clip	(	TriangleMesh &	tm,
		TriangleMesh &	clipper,
		const NamedParameters1 &	np_tm = `parameters::default_values()`,
		const NamedParameters2 &	np_c = `parameters::default_values()`
	)

#include <CGAL/Polygon_mesh_processing/clip.h>

clips tm by keeping the part that is inside the volume bounded by clipper.

If tm is closed, the clipped part can be closed too if the named parameter clip_volume is set to true. See Subsection Clipping for more details.

Attention: With the current implementation, clipper will be modified (refined with the intersection with tm).

Precondition: !CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::does_self_intersect(tm); !CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::does_self_intersect(clipper); CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::does_bound_a_volume(clipper)

Template Parameters

TriangleMesh	a model of `MutableFaceGraph`, `HalfedgeListGraph` and `FaceListGraph`.
NamedParameters1	a sequence of Named Parameters
NamedParameters2	a sequence of Named Parameters

Parameters

tm	input triangulated surface mesh
clipper	triangulated surface mesh used to clip `tm`
np_tm	an optional sequence of Named Parameters among the ones listed below
np_c	an optional sequence of Named Parameters among the ones listed below

Optional Named Parameters

a property map associating points to the vertices of `tm` (resp. `clipper`) Type: a class model of `ReadWritePropertyMap` with `boost::graph_traits<TriangleMesh>::vertex_descriptor` as key type and `Point_3` as value type Default: `boost::get(CGAL::vertex_point, tm (resp. clipper))` Extra: If this parameter is omitted, an internal property map for `CGAL::vertex_point_t` must be available in `TriangleMesh`.
a property map associating to each face of `tm` (`clipper`) a unique index between `0` and `num_faces(tm (resp. clipper)) - 1` Type: a class model of `ReadWritePropertyMap` with `boost::graph_traits<TriangleMesh>::face_descriptor` as key type and `std::size_t` as value type Default: an automatically indexed internal map Extra: if the property map is writable, the indices of the faces of `tm` and `clipper` will be set after refining `tm` with the intersection with `clipper`
a visitor used to track the creation of new faces Type: a class model of `PMPCorefinementVisitor` Default: `Corefinement::Default_visitor<TriangleMesh>`
If `true`, the set of triangles closed to the intersection of `tm` and `clipper` will be checked for self-intersections and `Corefinement::Self_intersection_exception` will be thrown if at least one self-intersection is found. Type: Boolean Default: `false`
If `true`, and `tm` is closed, the clipping will be done on the volume bounded by `tm` rather than on its surface (i.e., `tm` will be kept closed). Type: Boolean Default: `false`
if `false`, the parts of `tm` coplanar with `clipper` will not be part of the output. Type: Boolean Default: `false` Extra: This option has an effect only if a surface and not a volume is clipped, (i.e., if `clip_volume` is `false` or if `tm` is open).
(`np_c` only) if `true`, `clipper` will not be modified. Type: Boolean Default: `false` Extra: If this option is set to `true`, `tm` is no longer required to be without self-intersection. Setting this option to `true` will automatically set `throw_on_self_intersection` to `false` and `clip_volume` to `false`.

Returns: true if the output surface mesh is manifold. If false is returned tm and clipper are only corefined.

#include <CGAL/Polygon_mesh_processing/corefinement.h>

corefines tm1 and tm2 and for each triangle mesh tm_out passed as an optional in output different from boost::none, the triangulated surface mesh bounding the result of a particular Boolean operation between the volumes bounded by tm1 and tm2 will be put in the corresponding triangle mesh.

The positions of the meshes in the array output are specific to the Boolean operation to compute and Corefinement::Boolean_operation_type encodes and describes the ordering. Constructing the default array means that no Boolean operation will be done. Overwriting a default value will trigger the corresponding operation. In such a case, the address to a valid surface mesh must be provided. The optional named parameters for all output meshes are provided as a tuple and follow the same order as the array output. A call to corefine_and_compute_boolean_operations() with optional named parameters passed for output meshes should be done using make_tuple() as the types of named parameters are unspecified.

If tm1 and/or tm2 are part of the output surface meshes, they will be updated to contain the output (in-place operation), in any other case, the corresponding result will be inserted into the mesh without clearing it first.
