Wachspress Weight

#include <CGAL/Weights/wachspress_weights.h>

This weight is computed as \(w = \frac{C}{A_0 A_2}\) with notations shown in the figure below.

Here, q is a query point and the points p0, p1, and p2 are its neighbors.

This weight supports only planar configurations (see more in section about Coplanarity) while alternative formulations are explained in Implementation.

Figure 106.1 Notation used for the Wachspress weight.

Alternative Formulations

• This weight is equal to the Authalic Weight.
• This weight is a special case of the Three Point Family Weight.

Template Parameters

GeomTraits

a model of AnalyticWeightTraits_2 for 2D points; a model of AnalyticWeightTraits_3 for 3D points
