CGAL::Circular_kernel_2<LinearKernel,AlgebraicKernelForCircles>

#include <CGAL/Circular_kernel.h>

Is Model for the Concepts

CircularKernel

Parameters

The circular kernel is parameterized by a LinearKernel parameter (and derives from it), in order to reuse all needed functionalities on basic linear objects provided by one of the CGAL kernels. It also allows other implementations of these basic functionalities.

The second parameter, AlgebraicKernelForCircles, is meant to provide the circular kernel with all the algebraic functionalities required for the manipulation of algebraic curves.

LinearKernel

Types

The circular kernel uses basic number types of the algebraic kernel:

typedef AlgebraicKernelForCircles::RT
	RT;	Ring number type.
typedef AlgebraicKernelForCircles::FT
	FT;	Field number type.

In fact, the two number types AlgebraicKernelForCircles::RT and LinearKernel::RT must coincide, as well as AlgebraicKernelForCircles::FT and LinearKernel::FT.

The following types are available, as well as all the functionality on them described in the CircularKernel concept.

typedef Line_arc_2<Circular_kernel_2>
	Line_arc_2;
typedef Circular_arc_2<Circular_kernel_2>
	Circular_arc_2;
typedef Circular_arc_point_2<Circular_kernel_2>
	Circular_arc_point_2;
