template<class C3T3 >

void CGAL::output_periodic_mesh_to_medit	(	std::ostream &	os,
		const C3T3 &	c3t3,
		int	occurrence_count = `8`,
		bool	distinguish_copies = `true`,
		bool	rebind = `false`,
		bool	show_patches = `false`
	)

#include <CGAL/Periodic_3_mesh_3/IO/File_medit.h>

outputs a periodic mesh to the medit (.mesh) file format.

See [5] for a comprehensive description of this file format.

Parameters

os	the output stream
c3t3	the mesh complex
occurrence_count	the number of copies that are drawn
distinguish_copies	if set to `true`, each copy is assigned a unique color. Otherwise, all domains are drawn with subdomain index-based colors.
rebind	if set to `true`, labels of cells are rebinded into `[1..nb_of_labels]`
show_patches	if set to `true`, patches are labeled with different labels than cells. If `false`, each surface facet is written twice, using the label of each adjacent cell.
