CGAL::Apollonius_graph_2<Gt,Agds>

Definition

The class Apollonius_graph_2<Gt,Agds> represents the Apollonius graph. It supports insertions and deletions of sites. It is templated by two template arguments Gt, which must be a model of ApolloniusGraphTraits_2, and Agds, which must be a model of ApolloniusGraphDataStructure_2. The second template argument defaults to CGAL::Triangulation_data_structure_2< CGAL::Apollonius_graph_vertex_base_2<Gt,true>, CGAL::Triangulation_face_base_2<Gt> >.

#include <CGAL/Apollonius_graph_2.h>

Is Model for the Concepts

DelaunayGraph_2

Types

typedef Agds Data_structure; A type for the underlying data structure.
typedef Data_structure Triangulation_data_structure; Same as the Data_structure type. This type has been introduced in order for the Apollonius_graph_2<Gt,Agds> class to be a model of the DelaunayGraph_2 concept.
typedef Gt Geom_traits; A type for the geometric traits.
typedef Gt::Point_2 Point_2; A type for the point defined in the geometric traits.
typedef Gt::Site_2 Site_2; A type for the Apollonius site, defined in the geometric traits.

The vertices and faces of the Apollonius graph are accessed through handles, iterators and circulators. The iterators and circulators are all bidirectional and non-mutable. The circulators and iterators are assignable to the corresponding handle types, and they are also convertible to the corresponding handles. The edges of the Apollonius graph can also be visited through iterators and circulators, the edge circulators and iterators are also bidirectional and non-mutable. In the following, we call infinite any face or edge incident to the infinite vertex and the infinite vertex itself. Any other feature (face, edge or vertex) of the Apollonius graph is said to be finite. Some iterators (the All iterators ) allow to visit finite or infinite features while the others (the Finite iterators) visit only finite features. Circulators visit both infinite and finite features.

typedef Data_structure::Edge Edge; the edge type. The Edge(f,i) is the edge common to faces f and f.neighbor(i). It is also the edge joining the vertices vertex(cw(i)) and vertex(ccw(i)) of f.
Precondition: i must be 0, 1 or 2.
typedef Data_structure::Vertex Vertex; A type for a vertex.
typedef Data_structure::Face Face; A type for a face.
typedef Data_structure::Vertex_handle
Vertex_handle; A type for a handle to a vertex.
typedef Data_structure::Face_handle

Traversal of the Apollonius graph

An Apollonius graph can be seen as a container of faces and vertices. Therefore the Apollonius graph provides several iterators and circulators that allow to traverse it (completely or partially).

Face, Edge and Vertex Iterators

The following iterators allow respectively to visit finite faces, finite edges and finite vertices of the Apollonius graph. These iterators are non-mutable, bidirectional and their value types are respectively Face, Edge and Vertex. They are all invalidated by any change in the Apollonius graph.

Finite_vertices_iterator ag.finite_vertices_begin () Starts at an arbitrary finite vertex.
Finite_vertices_iterator ag.finite_vertices_end () Past-the-end iterator.

Finite_edges_iterator ag.finite_edges_begin () Starts at an arbitrary finite edge.

Finite_faces_iterator ag.finite_faces_begin () Starts at an arbitrary finite face.
Finite_faces_iterator ag.finite_faces_end () Past-the-end iterator.

The following iterators allow respectively to visit all (both finite and infinite) faces, edges and vertices of the Apollonius graph. These iterators are non-mutable, bidirectional and their value types are respectively Face, Edge and Vertex. They are all invalidated by any change in the Apollonius graph.

All_vertices_iterator ag.all_vertices_begin () Starts at an arbitrary vertex.
All_vertices_iterator ag.all_vertices_end () Past-the-end iterator.

Site iterators

The following iterators allow respectively to visit all sites, the visible sites and the hidden sites. These iterators are non-mutable, bidirectional and their value type is Site_2. They are all invalidated by any change in the Apollonius graph.

Sites_iterator ag.sites_begin () Starts at an arbitrary site.
Sites_iterator ag.sites_end () Past-the-end iterator.

Hidden_sites_iterator ag.hidden_sites_end () Past-the-end iterator.

Face, Edge and Vertex Circulators

The Apollonius graph also provides circulators that allow to visit respectively all faces or edges incident to a given vertex or all vertices adjacent to a given vertex. These circulators are non-mutable and bidirectional. The operator operator++ moves the circulator counterclockwise around the vertex while the operator-- moves clockwise. A face circulator is invalidated by any modification of the face pointed to. An edge circulator is invalidated by any modification in one of the two faces incident to the edge pointed to. A vertex circulator is invalidated by any modification in any of the faces adjacent to the vertex pointed to.

Face_circulator ag.incident_faces ( Vertex_handle v)
Starts at an arbitrary face incident to v.
Face_circulator ag.incident_faces ( Vertex_handle v, Face_handle f)
Starts at face f.
Precondition: Face f is incident to vertex v.
Edge_circulator ag.incident_edges ( Vertex_handle v)
Starts at an arbitrary edge incident to v.
Edge_circulator ag.incident_edges ( Vertex_handle v, Face_handle f)

Vertex_circulator ag.incident_vertices ( Vertex_handle v, Face_handle f)
Starts at the first vertex of f adjacent to v in counterclockwise order around v.
Precondition: Face f is incident to vertex v.

Traversal of the Convex Hull

Applied on the infinite_vertex the above functions allow to visit the vertices on the convex hull and the infinite edges and faces. Note that a counterclockwise traversal of the vertices adjacent to the infinite_vertex is a clockwise traversal of the convex hull.

Vertex_circulator ag.incident_vertices ( ag.infinite_vertex())

Edge_circulator ag.incident_edges ( ag.infinite_vertex())
Edge_circulator ag.incident_edges ( ag.infinite_vertex(), Face_handle f)

Predicates

The class Apollonius_graph_2<Gt,Agds> provides methods to test the finite or infinite character of any feature.

bool ag.is_infinite ( Vertex_handle v) true, iff v is the infinite_vertex.
bool ag.is_infinite ( Face_handle f) true, iff face f is infinite.
bool ag.is_infinite ( Face_handle f, int i)
true, iff edge (f,i) is infinite.
bool ag.is_infinite ( Edge e) true, iff edge e is infinite.
bool ag.is_infinite ( Edge_circulator ec)
true, iff edge *ec is infinite.

Insertion

template< class Input_iterator >
unsigned int ag.insert ( Input_iterator first, Input_iterator beyond)
Inserts the sites in the range [first,beyond). The number of sites in the range [first, beyond) is returned.
Precondition: Input_iterator must be a model of InputIterator and its value type must be Site_2.
Vertex_handle ag.insert ( Site_2 s) Inserts the site s in the Apollonius graph. If s is visible then the vertex handle of s is returned, otherwise Vertex_handle(NULL) is returned.
Vertex_handle ag.insert ( Site_2 s, Vertex_handle vnear)
Inserts s in the Apollonius graph using the site associated with vnear as an estimate for the nearest neighbor of the center of s. If s is visible then the vertex handle of s is returned, otherwise Vertex_handle(NULL) is returned.

Removal

void ag.remove ( Vertex_handle v) Removes the site associated to the vertex handle v from the Apollonius graph.
Precondition: v must correspond to a valid finite vertex of the Apollonius graph.

Nearest neighbor location

Vertex_handle ag.nearest_neighbor ( Point_2 p) Finds the nearest neighbor of the point p. In other words it finds the site whose Apollonius cell contains p. Ties are broken arbitrarily and one of the nearest neighbors of p is returned. If there are no visible sites in the Apollonius diagram Vertex_handle(NULL) is returned.
Vertex_handle ag.nearest_neighbor ( Point_2 p, Vertex_handle vnear)
Finds the nearest neighbor of the point p using the site associated with vnear as an estimate for the nearest neighbor of p. Ties are broken arbitrarily and one of the nearest neighbors of p is returned. If there are no visible sites in the Apollonius diagram Vertex_handle(NULL) is returned.

Access to the dual

The Apollonius_graph_2 class provides access to the duals of the faces of the graph. The dual of a face of the Apollonius graph is a site. If the originating face is infinite, its dual is a site with center at infinity (or equivalently with infinite weight), which means that it can be represented geometrically as a line. If the originating face is finite, its dual is a site with finite center and weight. In the following three methods the returned object is assignable to either Site_2 or Gt::Line_2, depending on whether the corresponding face of the Apollonius graph is finite or infinite, respectively.

Gt::Object_2 ag.dual ( Face_handle f) Returns the dual corresponding to the face handle f. The returned object can be assignable to one of the following: Site_2, Gt::Line_2.
Gt::Object_2 ag.dual ( All_faces_iterator it) Returns the dual of the face to which it points to. The returned object can be assignable to one of the following: Site_2, Gt::Line_2.
Gt::Object_2 ag.dual ( Finite_faces_iterator it)
Returns the dual of the face to which it points to. The returned object can be assignable to one of the following: Site_2, Gt::Line_2.

Stream& operator<<(Stream&, Gt::Ray_2),
Stream& operator<<(Stream&, Gt::Line_2).
void ag.file_output ( std::ostream& os)
Writes the current state of the Apollonius graph to an output stream. In particular, all visible and hidden sites are written as well as the underlying combinatorial data structure.
void ag.file_input ( std::istream& is) Reads the state of the Apollonius graph from an input stream.
std::ostream& std::ostream& os << ag Writes the current state of the Apollonius graph to an output stream.
std::istream& std::istream& is >> ag Reads the state of the Apollonius graph from an input stream.

Validity check

bool ag.is_valid ( bool verbose = false, int level = 1)
Checks the validity of the Apollonius graph. If verbose is true a short message is sent to std::cerr. If level is 0, only the data structure is validated. If level is 1, then both the data structure and the Apollonius graph are validated. Negative values of level always return true, and values greater then 1 are equivalent to level being 1.

Miscellaneous

void ag.clear () Clears all contents of the Apollonius graph.
void ag.swap ( other) The Apollonius graphs other and ag are swapped. ag.swap(other) should be preferred to ag = other or to ag(other) if other is deleted afterwards.
