CGAL 5.5 - Weights

#include <CGAL/Weights/authalic_weights.h>

This weight is computed as \(w = 2 \frac{\cot\beta + \cot\gamma}{d^2}\) 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.

◆ half_authalic_weight()

template<typename FT >
FT CGAL::Weights::half_authalic_weight ( const FT  cot,
const FT  d2 
)

#include <CGAL/Weights/authalic_weights.h>

computes the half value of the authalic weight.

This function constructs the half of the authalic weight using the precomputed cotangent and squared distance values. The returned value is \(\frac{2\textbf{cot}}{\textbf{d2}}\).

Template Parameters
FTa model of FieldNumberType
Parameters
cotthe cotangent value
d2the squared distance value
Precondition
d2 != 0
