The following functions are used to construct the inward or outward offsets of a polygon.

Kernel Choices

Up to three different kernels can be used in the offset construction process:

Input Kernel (InK): This is the kernel type of the input polygons.
Skeleton Kernel (SsK): This is the kernel used for the construction of the (partial) straight skeleton. It might differ from the Input Kernel for example if the input is based on exact number types, but you wish to speed up the construction of the straight skeleton, using a lighter kernel such as CGAL::Exact_predicates_inexact_constructions_kernel.
Offset (Output) Kernel (OfK): This is the kernel used for the construction of the offset polygons and is thus the kernel type for the output.

When the kernel differs, CGAL::Cartesian_converter is used to convert from one kernel to the other.

By default, SsK and OfK are chosen as CGAL::Exact_predicates_inexact_constructions_kernel as a compromise between speed and robustness. See also Section Create Offset Polygons from a Polygon (With or Without Holes).

Polygon Return Type

There are two classes of offset construction functions: those that simply return all the offset polygons, and those that also create an arrangement of the polygons to create a polygon with holes. The latter contain _with_holes in the name.

The return type of the offset construction function is thus dediced by whether or not it is a simple polygon or a polygon with holes, and on the dictated output kernel (see Section Kernel Choices). Thus, for an input polygon type InKPolygon in an offset construction that does not arrange polygons (e.g. create_interior_skeleton_and_offset_polygons_2()):

If the kernel type InK of the input polygon type is different from the output kernel type OfK, then the output polygon type is CGAL::Polygon_2<OfK>.
If the kernel type InK is equal to the output kernel type OfK, but the input polygon is a polygon with holes (a model of GeneralPolygonWithHoles_2), then the return type is InKPolygon::General_polygon_2.
If the kernel type InK of the input polygon type is equal to the output kernel type OfK, and the input polygon is a polygon without holes (a model of SequenceContainer with InK::Point_2 value type), then the return type is InKPolygon.

Similarly, if the return type is a polygon with holes (e.g. create_interior_skeleton_and_offset_polygons_with_holes_2(), a similar dispatch exists:

If the kernel type InK of the input polygon type is different from the output kernel type OfK, then the output polygon type is CGAL::Polygon_with_holes_2<OfK>.
If the kernel type InK is equal to the output kernel type OfK, but the input polygon is a polygon with holes (a model of GeneralPolygonWithHoles_2), then the return type is InKPolygon.
If the kernel type InK of the input polygon type is equal to the output kernel type OfK, and the input polygon is a polygon without holes (a model of SequenceContainer with InK::Point_2 value type), then the return type is CGAL::Polygon_with_holes_2<OfK>.

◆ arrange_offset_polygons_2()

template<class K , class InputPolygonPtrIterator , class OutputPolygonWithHolesPtrIterator >

bool CGAL::arrange_offset_polygons_2	(	InputPolygonPtrIterator	begin,
		InputPolygonPtrIterator	end,
		OutputPolygonWithHolesPtrIterator	out,
		const K &	k
	)

#include <CGAL/arrange_offset_polygons_2.h>

The function arrange_offset_polygons_2() arranges the sequence of 2D polygons obtained by create_offset_polygons_2() into 2D polygons with holes by determining geometric parent-hole relationships using a simple algorithm based on the particular characteristics of offset polygons.

The function determines parent-hole relationships among the polygons given by [begin,end] creating boost::shared_ptr< GeneralPolygonWithHoles_2 > objects added to the output sequence given out. A CLOCKWISE oriented polygon H is a hole of a COUNTERCLOCKWISE polygon P, iff at least one vertex of H is ON_BOUNDED_SIDE of P.

This function should not be used to arrange arbitrary polygons into polygons with holes unless they meet the requirements specified below.

Precondition: The input polygons must be simple.; The set of input polygons are unique and interior disjoint. That is, given distinct polygons P and Q, there are vertices of P which are not on the boundary of Q and are all on the bounded or unbounded side of Q (but not both).

Template Parameters

K	must be a model of `Kernel`.
InputPolygonPtrIterator	must be a model of `InputIterator` whose `value_type` is a smart pointer (such as `boost::shared_ptr`) whose `element_type` is a model of `SequenceContainer` with value type `K::Point_2`.
OutputPolygonWithHolesPtrIterator	must be a model of `OutputIterator` whose `value_type` is a smart pointer (such as `boost::shared_ptr`) whose `element_type` is a model of `GeneralPolygonWithHoles_2`.

Returns: true if no error was encountered, and false otherwise.

◆ compute_outer_frame_margin()

template<class InputIterator , class Traits >

boost::optional< typename Traits::FT > CGAL::compute_outer_frame_margin	(	InputIterator	first,
		InputIterator	beyond,
		typename Traits::FT	offset,
		const Traits &	traits = `Default_traits`
	)

#include <CGAL/compute_outer_frame_margin.h>

computes the separation required between a polygon and the outer frame used to obtain an exterior skeleton suitable for the computation of outer offset polygons at a given distance.

Given a non-degenerate strictly-simple 2D polygon whose vertices are passed in the range [first,beyond), calculates the largest euclidean distance d between each input vertex and its corresponding offset vertex at a distance offset.

If such a distance can be approximately computed, returns an optional<FT> with the value d + (offset * 1.05). If the distance cannot be computed, not even approximately, due to overflow for instance, returns an empty optional<FT> (an absent result).

This result is the required separation between the input polygon and the rectangular frame used to construct an exterior offset contour at distance offset (which is done by placing the polygon as a hole of that frame).

Such a separation must be computed in this way because if the frame is too close to the polygon, the inward offset contour from the frame could collide with the outward offset contour of the polygon, resulting in a merged contour offset instead of two contour offsets, one of them corresponding to the frame.

Simply using 2*offset as the separation is incorrect since offset is the distance between an offset line and its original, not between an offset vertex and its original. The later, which is calculated by this function and needed to place the frame sufficiently away from the polygon, can be thousands of times larger than offset.

If the result is absent, any attempt to construct an exterior offset polygon at distance offset will fail. This will occur whenever the polygon has a vertex with an internal angle approaching 0 (because the offset vertex of a vertex whose internal angle equals 0 is at infinity).

The default traits class Default_traits is an instance of the class Polygon_offset_builder_traits_2<Kernel> parameterized on the kernel in which the type InputIterator::value_type is defined.

Template Parameters

Traits	must be a model for `PolygonOffsetBuilderTraits_2`.
InputIterator	must be a model of `InputIterator` with `value_type` equivalent to `Traits::Point_2`.

Precondition: offset > 0.; The range [first,beyond) contains the vertices of a non-degenerate strictly-simple 2D polygon.

		Items_converted const &	ic = `Items_converter()`
	)

#include <CGAL/Straight_skeleton_converter_2.h>

returns a new straight skeleton data structure with the same combinatorial and geometric data as s using the items converter ic to convert the geometric embedding to the types of the target skeleton.

◆ create_exterior_skeleton_and_offset_polygons_2()

template<typename OfKPolygon , typename FT , typename InKPolygon , typename OfK , typename SsK >

		const InKPolygon &	poly,
		OfK	ofk = `Exact_predicates_inexact_constructions_kernel()`,
		SsK	ssk = `Exact_predicates_inexact_constructions_kernel()`
	)

#include <CGAL/create_offset_polygons_2.h>

returns a container with all the outer offset polygons at distance offset of the 2D polygon poly.

The exterior skeleton is limited by an outer rectangular frame placed at a margin sufficiently large to allow the offset polygons to be constructed.

Note: A temporary straight skeleton is constructed in the limited exterior of the input polygon to obtain the offsets. The construction of this skeleton is the most expensive operation, therefore, to construct offsets at more than one single distance, use the separate functions create_exterior_straight_skeleton_2() and create_offset_polygons_2() instead.

Template Parameters

OfK	must be a model of `Kernel`. It is used to instantiate `Polygon_offset_builder_traits_2<OfK>` for constructing the offset polygons.
SsK	must be a model of `Kernel`. It is used to instantiate `Straight_skeleton_builder_traits_2<SsK>` for constructing the straight skeleton.
FT	must be a model of `FieldNumberType` convertible to `OfK::FT` and `SsK::FT`.
InKPolygon	must be a model of `SequenceContainer` with value type `InK::Point_2` (e.g. `Polygon_2<InK>`) or a model of `GeneralPolygonWithHoles_2` (e.g. `Polygon_with_holes_2<InK>`).
OfKPolygon	is a polygon without holes type determined from `OfK` and `InKPolygon`, see Section Polygon Return Type.

Note: If SsK != OfK the constructed straight skeleton is converted to CGAL::Straight_skeleton_2<OfK>.

Precondition: offset is positive; poly` is weakly simple, counterclockwise polygon.

returns a container with all the outer offset polygons with holes at distance offset of the 2D polygon poly_with_holes.

Note that the offset of the outer frame is ignored.

This is equivalent to a call to CGAL::arrange_offset_polygons_2() on the output of create_exterior_skeleton_and_offset_polygons_2(offset, poly_with_holes, ofk, ssk)) after having filtered out the polygon corresponding to the offset of the outer frame and having reversed the orientation of all other polygons.

Note that the offset of the outer frame is ignored.

This is equivalent to a call to CGAL::arrange_offset_polygons_2() on the output of create_exterior_weighted_skeleton_and_offset_polygons_2(offset, poly_with_holes, ofk, ssk)) after having filtered out the polygon corresponding to the offset of the outer frame and having reversed the orientation of all other polygons.

Note: If SsK != OfK the constructed straight skeleton is converted to CGAL::Straight_skeleton_2<OfK>.

Precondition: offset is positive.; ss is a valid straight skeleton.
