create_exterior_straight_skeleton_2() [1/2]

template<typename FT , typename PointIterator , typename SsK >

boost::shared_ptr< Straight_skeleton_2<SsK> > CGAL::create_exterior_straight_skeleton_2	(	FT	max_offset,
		PointIterator	vertices_begin,
		PointIterator	vertices_end,
		SsK	k = CGAL::Exact_predicates_inexact_constructions_kernel()
	)

#include <CGAL/create_straight_skeleton_2.h>

creates a straight skeleton in the exterior of a 2D polygon with holes.

The function returns a straight skeleton in the limited exterior of the 2D polygon P given by the point sequence [vertices_begin,vertices_end[. The skeleton in the limited exterior of P is the skeleton in the interior of a polygon Q with P as its hole and a rectangular frame F as outer boundary. The outer boundary F is constructed by enlarging the bounding box of P a distance d. d is a margin sufficiently large to allow an outer offset at distance max_offset to be obtained from this exterior skeleton, as computed by the function compute_outer_frame_margin().

Template Parameters

SsK	must be a model of Kernel.
FT	must be a model of FieldNumberType convertible to SsK::FT.
PointIterator	must be a model of InputIterator with value type InK::Point_2.

Note

Cartesian_converter is used to convert from InK::Point_2 to SsK::Point_2, if they differ.

Precondition

vertices_begin and vertices_end describe a weakly simple polygon that is oriented counterclockwise.

#include <CGAL/create_straight_skeleton_2.h>

creates a straight skeleton in the exterior of a 2D polygon with holes.

The function returns a straight skeleton in the limited exterior of the 2D polygon P. The skeleton in the limited exterior of P is the skeleton in the interior of a polygon Q with P as its hole and a rectangular frame F as outer boundary. The outer boundary F is constructed by enlarging the bounding box of P a distance d. d is a margin sufficiently large to allow an outer offset at distance max_offset to be obtained from this exterior skeleton, as computed by the function compute_outer_frame_margin().

Template Parameters

SsK	must be a model of Kernel.
FT	must be a model of FieldNumberType convertible to SsK::FT.
Polygon	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>).

Note

Cartesian_converter is used to convert from InK::Point_2 to SsK::Point_2, if they differ.

Precondition

P is a weakly simple, counterclockwise polygon with clockwise oriented holes.

Holes neither intersect each other nor the outer boundary.

All the weights must be (strictly) positive.

max_offset is positive.

Note

Cartesian_converter is used to convert from InK::Point_2 to SsK::Point_2, if they differ.

Precondition

polygon is a weakly simple, counterclockwise polygon with clockwise oriented holes.

Holes neither intersect each other nor the outer boundary.
