ConstrainedTriangulationTraits_2

Definition

The concept ConstrainedTriangulationTraits_2 defines the requirements for the geometric traits class of a constrained triangulation ( Constrained_Triangulation_2<Traits,Tds,Itag>) that supports intersections of input constraints (i. e. when the template parameter Itag is instantiated by one of the tag classes Exact_intersections_tag or Exact_predicates_tag). This concept refines the concept TriangulationTraits_2, adding requirements for function objects to compute the intersection points of two constraints. When Exact_predicates_tag is used, the traits class is also required to provide additionnal types to compute the squared distance between a point and a line

Types

ConstrainedTriangulationTraits_2::Intersect_2
A function object whose operator() computes the intersection of two segments :
Object_2 operator()(Segment_2 s1, Segment_2 s2); Returns the intersection of s1 and s2.

When the constrained triangulation is instantiated with the intersection tag Exact_predicates_tag, the used agorithms needs to be able to compare some distances between points and lines and the following types are further required.
ConstrainedTriangulationTraits_2::RT
A number type supporting the comparison operator <.


ConstrainedTriangulationTraits_2::Line_2
The line type.

ConstrainedTriangulationTraits_2::Construct_line_2
A function object whose operator() constructs a line from two points :
Line_2 operator()(Point_2 p1, Point_2 p2).

ConstrainedTriangulationTraits_2::Compute_squared_distance_2
A function object with an operator() designed to compute the squared distance between a line and a point : RT operator()(Point_2 p1, Line_2); Return the squared distance betwen p and l.

Access to constructor object
