Definition

The class-template Envelope_diagram_2 represents the minimization diagram that corresponds to the lower envelope of a set of curves, or the maximization diagram that corresponds to their upper envelope.

It is parameterized by a traits class that must be a model of the EnvelopeTraits_3 concept, and is basically a planar arrangement of \( x\)-monotone curves, as defined by this traits class. These \( x\)-monotone curves are the projections of boundary curves of \( xy\)-monotone surfaces, or the intersection curves between such surfaces, onto the \( xy\)-plane. Thus, it is possible to traverse the envelope diagram using the methods inherited from the Arrangement_2 class.

The envelope diagram extends the arrangement features (namely the vertices, halfedges, and faces), such that each feature stores a container of originators - namely, the \( xy\)-monotone surfaces (instances of the type EnvTraits::Xy_monotone_surface_3) that induce the lower envelope (or the upper envelope, in case of a maximization diagram) over this feature. The envelope diagram provides access methods to these originators.

Examples:
Envelope_3/envelope_planes.cpp, Envelope_3/envelope_spheres.cpp, and Envelope_3/envelope_triangles.cpp.
