CGAL 5.6 - 2D Triangulations on the Sphere
|
#include <CGAL/Delaunay_triangulation_on_sphere_traits_2.h>
The class Delaunay_triangulation_on_sphere_traits_2
is a model of the concept DelaunayTriangulationOnSphereTraits_2
.
The Point_on_sphere_2
type is implemented as a kernel Point_3
type.
If the kernel template parameter LK
does not enable exact representation of points on sphere (i.e., at least a mean to represent algebraic coordinates), then it cannot be guaranteed that all points on the sphere are in a convex position and thus some points might be hidden upon insertion. It is possible to ensure that no point can be hidden by enforcing a tiny gap between points [1]. In Lemma 4.1 of this publication, it is in particular proven that if points lie within a distance \( \delta \) of the sphere, no point is hidden as long as points are separated by at least \( 2 \sqrt{R\delta} \) with \( R \) the radius of the sphere.
Thus, if LK
offers exact representation, then \( \delta \) is set to \( 0 \). Otherwise, \( \delta \) is set to the maximal distance between two consecutive LK::FT
for the coordinates of a point that is (theoretically) on the sphere. This bound \( \delta \) is then used in the functions is_on_sphere()
and are_points_too_close()
using the relation above to ensure that a point being inserted is either marked as "too close" (see CGAL::Triangulation_on_sphere_2<Traits,TDS>::Locate_type
) and thus not inserted, or guaranteed to not be hidden upon insertion.

If the kernel cannot represent algebraic coordinates exactly, there is a tolerance around the sphere, and thus different points of \( \mathbb{R}^3\) can actually correspond to the same point on the sphere.
This functor checks if two points project onto the same point on the sphere.

returns false
if LK
can represent algebraic coordinates, or whether the distance between p
and q
is lower than \( 2 \sqrt{R\delta} \) otherwise.
bool CGAL::Delaunay_triangulation_on_sphere_traits_2< LK, SK >::is_on_sphere | ( | const Point_on_sphere_2 & | p | ) | const |
returns whether p
