CGAL 5.5.2 - dD Spatial Searching
CGAL::Point_container< Traits > Class Template Reference

#include <CGAL/Point_container.h>

Definition

A custom container for points used to build a tree.

Each point container holds the points from a rectangle associated with a node of the tree. In the remainder of this reference page this rectangle is called the associated rectangle. Provides a method to split a container and a number of methods to support the implementation of splitting rules.

Template Parameters
Traitsmust be model of the concept SearchTraits.

◆ max_tight_span_lower()

template<typename Traits >
FT CGAL::Point_container< Traits >::max_tight_span_lower ( ) const

Returns lower value of the interval corresponding to max_tight_span_coord().

That is, the smallest max_tight_span_coord()-th coordinate of the points in c.

◆ split()

template<typename Traits >
template<class SpatialSeparator >
void CGAL::Point_container< Traits >::split ( Point_container< Traits > &  c2,
SpatialSeparator  sep,
bool  sliding = false 
)

Given an empty container c2 with the same dimension as c, splits c into cand c2 using the separator sep.

If sliding is true after splitting each container contains at least one point. Container c should contain at least two points.
