DelaunayTriangulationTraits Concept Reference

Definition

This concept describes the geometric types and predicates required to build a Delaunay triangulation. It corresponds to the first template parameter of the class CGAL::Delaunay_triangulation<DelaunayTriangulationTraits_, TriangulationDataStructure_>.

Types
typedef unspecified_type	Side_of_oriented_sphere_d
	A predicate object that must provide the templated operator template<typename ForwardIterator> Oriented_side operator()(ForwardIterator start, ForwardIterator end, const Point_d & p).
typedef unspecified_type	In_flat_side_of_oriented_sphere_d
	A predicate object that must provide the templated operator template<typename ForwardIterator> Oriented_side operator()(Flat_orientation_d orient, ForwardIterator start, ForwardIterator end, const Point_d & p).

Creation
	DelaunayTriangulationTraits ()
	The default constructor (optional).

Operations
The following methods permit access to the traits class's predicates and functors:
Side_of_oriented_sphere_d	side_of_oriented_sphere_d_object () const
In_flat_side_of_oriented_sphere_d	in_flat_side_of_oriented_sphere_d_object () const

Member Typedef Documentation

In_flat_side_of_oriented_sphere_d

typedef unspecified_type DelaunayTriangulationTraits::In_flat_side_of_oriented_sphere_d

A predicate object that must provide the templated operator template<typename ForwardIterator> Oriented_side operator()(Flat_orientation_d orient, ForwardIterator start, ForwardIterator end, const Point_d & p).

The operator returns ON_POSITIVE_SIDE, ON_NEGATIVE_SIDE or ON_ORIENTED_BOUNDARY depending of the side of the query point p with respect to the sphere circumscribing the simplex defined by the points in range [start,end). If the simplex is positively oriented according to orient, then the positive side of sphere corresponds geometrically to its bounded side. The points in range [start,end) and p are supposed to belong to the lower dimensional flat whose orientation is given by orient.

Precondition

std::distance(start,end)=k+1 where $k$ is the number of points used to construct orient. The points in range [start,end) must be affinely independent, i.e., the simplex must not be flat. p must be in the flat generated by this simplex.

Side_of_oriented_sphere_d

typedef unspecified_type DelaunayTriangulationTraits::Side_of_oriented_sphere_d

A predicate object that must provide the templated operator template<typename ForwardIterator> Oriented_side operator()(ForwardIterator start, ForwardIterator end, const Point_d & p).

The operator returns ON_POSITIVE_SIDE, ON_NEGATIVE_SIDE or ON_ORIENTED_BOUNDARY depending of the side of the query point p with respect to the sphere circumscribing the simplex defined by the points in range [start,end). If the simplex is positively oriented, then the positive side of sphere corresponds geometrically to its bounded side.

Precondition

If Dimension=CGAL::Dimension_tag<D>, then std::distance(start,end)=D+1. The points in range [start,end) must be affinely independent, i.e., the simplex must not be flat.

The default constructor (optional).

This is not required when an instance of the traits is provided to the constructor of CGAL::Delaunay_triangulation.
