CGAL::is_y_monotone_2

Definition

Function for testing the $$y-monotonicity of a sequence of points.

#include <CGAL/is_y_monotone_2.h>

template<class InputIterator, class Traits>
bool	is_y_monotone_2 ( InputIterator first, InputIterator beyond, Traits traits)
		Determines if the sequence of points in the range [first, beyond) define a $$y-monotone polygon or not. If so, the function returns true, otherwise it returns false.

Requirements

1. Traits is a model of the concept IsYMonotoneTraits_2.
2. InputIterator::value_type should be Traits::Point_2.

The default traits class Default_traits is the kernel in which the type InputIterator::value_type is defined.

Implementation

This function requires $$O(n) time for a polygon with $$n vertices.

Example

The following program computes a $$y-monotone partitioning of a polygon using the default traits class and stores the partition polygons in the list partition_polys. It then asserts that each of the partition polygons is, in fact, a $$y-monotone polygon and that the partition is valid. (Note that the assertions are superfluous unless the postcondition checking done by y_monotone_partition_2 has been turned off during compilation.)
