Definition

template<typename Tr>
class CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >

The class Constrained_triangulation_plus_2<Tr> provides a constrained triangulation with an additional data structure that keeps track of the input constraints and of their refinement in the triangulation.

The class Constrained_triangulation_plus_2<Tr> inherits from its template parameter Tr, which has to be instantiated by a constrained or constrained Delaunay triangulation. The intersection tag of the base class determines whether intersecting input constraints are supported or not. When intersections of input constraints are supported, the base class constructs a triangulation of the arrangement of the constraints, introducing new vertices at each proper intersection point.

The data structure maintains for each input constraint the sequence of vertices on this constraint. Note that there is not a one-to-one correspondence between an input constraint and the sequence of vertices. These vertices are either vertices of the input constraint or intersection points. Also consecutive identical points in the input constraint result in a single vertex in the sequence of vertices on this constraint. In case of an input constraint being degenerate to a point, this point is inserted but there will not be a zero length constraint.

Two consecutive vertices of a constraint form a subconstraint. A subconstraint is a pair of vertex handles and corresponds to a constrained edge of the triangulation, which is a pair of a face handle and an index.

The triangulation also enables the retrieval of the set of subconstraints of the triangulation (not ordered along constraints). It further enables the retrieval of the set of input constraints that induce a subconstraint. As it is straightforward to obtain a subconstraint from a constrained edge e, one can obtain the input constraints which induce e.

Polyline Simplification

Advanced

The polyline simplification algorithm described in Chapter Chapter_2D_Polyline_simplification operates on polyline constraints.

The algorithm removes in each simplification step a vertex of a constraint and at the same time from the triangulation. The class Constrained_triangulation_plus_2 stores for each constraint not only the sequence of vertices but also the original sequence of points at those vertices. As the Vertices_in_constraint_iterator enables the traversal of the current set of vertices, the Points_in_constraint_iterator enables the traversal of the points that were in the constraint before the simplification algorithm started.

It enables the simplification algorithm to compute the error introduced by each simplification step: it is the distance of the current sequence (vertices) to the original sequence (points).

Those stored points which do not correspond to a vertex can be removed afterward either for a single constraint or for all constraints.

The simplification algorithm uses the following types and functions.

template<class PointIterator >
size_type CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::insert ( PointIterator  first,
PointIterator  last 
)

inserts the points in the range [first,last).

Returns the number of inserted points.

Template Parameters
PointIteratormust be an InputIterator with the value type Point.

◆ insert_constraint() [1/3]

template<typename Tr >
Constraint_id CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::insert_constraint ( Point  a,
Point  b 
)

inserts the constraint segment ab in the triangulation.

If the two points are equal the point is inserted but no constraint, and a default constructed Constraint_id is returned.

Examples
Triangulation_2/constrained_hierarchy_plus.cpp, Triangulation_2/constrained_plus.cpp, Triangulation_2/polylines_triangulation.cpp, and Triangulation_2/segment_soup_to_polylines.cpp.

◆ insert_constraint() [2/3]

template<typename Tr >
template<class PointIterator >
Constraint_id CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::insert_constraint ( PointIterator  first,
PointIterator  last,
bool  close = false 
)

inserts a polyline defined by the points in the range [first,last) and returns the constraint id.

The polyline is considered as a closed curve if the first and last point are equal or if close == true. This enables for example passing the vertex range of a Polygon_2. When traversing the vertices of a closed polyline constraint with a Vertices_in_constraint_iterator the first and last vertex are the same. In case the range is empty a default constructed Constraint_id is returned. In case the range contains only one point or all points are equal the point is inserted but no constraint, and a default constructed Constraint_id is returned.

If the two vertex handles are equal no constraint is inserted, and a default constructed Constraint_id is returned.

◆ insert_constraints() [1/2]

template<typename Tr >
template<class ConstraintIterator >
std::size_t CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::insert_constraints ( ConstraintIterator  first,
ConstraintIterator  last 
)

inserts the constraints in the range [first,last).

Note that this function is not guaranteed to insert the constraints following the order of ConstraintIterator, as spatial_sort() is used to improve efficiency. More precisely, all endpoints are inserted prior to the segments and according to the order provided by the spatial sort. Once endpoints have been inserted, the segments are inserted in the order of the input iterator, using the vertex handles of its endpoints. In case the constraints are degenerate the points are inserted, but no constraints.

Template Parameters
ConstraintIteratormust be an InputIterator with the value type std::pair<Point,Point> or Segment.
Returns
the number of inserted points.

◆ insert_constraints() [2/2]

template<typename Tr >
template<class PointIterator , class IndicesIterator >

PointIterator  points_last,
IndicesIterator  indices_first,
IndicesIterator  indices_last 
)

Same as above except that each constraint is given as a pair of indices of the points in the range [points_first, points_last).

The indices must go from 0 to std::distance(points_first, points_last)

Template Parameters

int CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::number_of_enclosing_constraints ( Vertex_handle  va,
Vertex_handle  vb 
) const

returns the number of constraints enclosing the subconstraint (va,vb).

Precondition

◆ points_in_constraint_begin()

template<typename Tr >
Points_in_constraint_iterator CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::points_in_constraint_begin ( Constraint_id  cid) const

This is an advanced function.

Advanced

Returns an iterator to the first point on the constraint before any simplification step.

◆ points_in_constraint_end()

size_type CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::remove_points_without_corresponding_vertex ( Constraint_id  cid)

This is an advanced function.

Advanced

Removes the original points that correspond to vertices in the constraint cid which have been removed by the simplify() function.

◆ simplify()

template<typename Tr >
void CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::simplify ( Vertices_in_constraint_iterator  vicq)

This is an advanced function.

Advanced

Removes the vertex at vicq from the constraint and the triangulation. The point of that vertex remains stored in the sequence of original points of the constraint until remove_points_without_corresponding_vertex(Constraint_id) or remove_points_without_corresponding_vertex() is called.

The polyline simplification algorithm described in Chapter Chapter_2D_Polyline_simplification operates on polyline constraints and applies simplify() to vertices in constraints based on a cost and stop function.

Precondition
Each vertex of the triangulation must be either a vertex of a constraint or a vertex at the intersection of constraints.
vicq must neither be the first nor the last vertex on a constraint.
The vertex referred by vicq is not contained in any other constraint.
Let vip and vir be defined as vip = std::prev(vicq) and vir = std::next(vicr).
The line segment between *vicp->point() and *vicr->point() must not intersect any constraint.

template<typename Tr >

splits into constraints the graph of subconstraints.

Consider the graph g={V,E} where V is the set of vertices of the triangulation and E is the set of all subconstraints of all constraints of the triangulation.

This function splits into polylines the graph g at vertices of degree greater than 2 and at vertices for which is_terminal(v)==true.

Each computed polyline is stored as a constraint of the triangulation.

Warning
all existing constraints will be discarded.
Parameters
is_terminalAn optional function returning true if the vertex v of degree 2 is a polyline endpoint and false otherwise. If omitted, a function always returning false will be used, that is no degree 2 vertex will be considered as a polyline endpoint.

template<typename Tr >
void CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >::swap ( Constrained_triangulation_plus_2< Tr >  tr)

The triangulations tr and this triangulation are swapped.

This operation should be preferred to the assignment or to the copy constructor if tr is deleted after that.
