2D Apollonius Graphs (Delaunay Graphs of Disks) Reference

Menelaos Karavelas and Mariette Yvinec

Algorithms for computing the Apollonius graph in two dimensions. The Apollonius graph is the dual of the Apollonius diagram, also known as the additively weighted Voronoi diagram. The latter can be thought of as the Voronoi diagram of a set of disks under the Euclidean metric, and it is a generalization of the standard Voronoi diagram for points. The algorithms provided are dynamic.

An Apollonius graph is the dual of the Apollonius diagram, also known as the additively weighted Voronoi diagram. It is essentially the Voronoi diagram of a set of disks, where the distance of a point of the plane from a disk is defined as the Euclidean distance of the point and the center of the circle, minus the radius of the disk.

CGAL provides the class CGAL::Apollonius_graph_2<Gt,Agds> for computing the 2D Apollonius graph. The two template parameters must be models of the ApolloniusGraphTraits_2 and ApolloniusGraphDataStructure_2 concepts. The first concept is related to the geometric objects and predicates associated with Apollonius graphs, whereas the second concept refers to the data structure used to represent the Apollonius graph. The classes Apollonius_graph_traits_2<K,Method_tag> and Triangulation_data_structure_2<Vb,Fb> are models of the aforementioned concepts.
