We provide an alternative to the class Segment_Delaunay_graph_2<Gt,DS> for the incremental construction of the segment Delaunay graph. The Segment_Delaunay_graph_hierarchy_2<Gt,STag,DS> class maintains a hierarchy of Delaunay graphs. There are two possibilities as to how this hierarchy is constructed.
In the first case the bottom-most level of the hierarchy contains the full segment Delaunay graph. The upper levels of the hierarchy contain only points that are either point sites or endpoints of segment sites in the bottom-most Delaunay graph. A point that is in level (either as an individdual point or as the endpoint of a segment), is inserted in level with probability where is some constant. In the second case the upper levels of the hierarchy contains not only points but also segments. A site that is in level , is in level with probability where is some constant.
The difference between the Segment_Delaunay_graph_2<Gt,DS> class and the Segment_Delaunay_graph_hierarchy_2<Gt,STag,DS> class (both versions of it) is on how the nearest neighbor location is done. Given a point the location is done as follows: at the top most level we find the nearest neighbor of as in the Segment_Delaunay_graph_2<Gt,DS> class. At every subsequent level we use the nearest neighbor found at level to find the nearest neighbor at level . This is a variant of the corresponding hierarchy for points found in [Dev02]. The details are described in [Kar04].
The class has three template parameters. The first and third have essentially the same semantics as in the Segment_Delaunay_graph_2<Gt,DS> class. The first template parameter must be a model of the SegmentDelaunayGraphTraits_2 concept. The third template parameter must be a model of the SegmentDelaunayGraphDataStructure_2 concept. However, the vertex base class that is to be used in the segment Delaunay graph data structure must be a model of the SegmentDelaunayGraphHierarchyVertexBase_2 concept. The third template parameter defaults to Triangulation_data_structure_2< Segment_Delaunay_graph_hierarchy_vertex_base_2< Segment_Delaunay_graph_vertex_base_2<Gt> >, Triangulation_face_base_2<Gt> >. The second template parameter controls whether or not segments are added in the upper levels of the hierarchy. It's possible values are CGAL::Tag_true and CGAL::Tag_false. If it is set to CGAL::Tag_true, segments are also inserted in the upper levels of the hierarchy. The value CGAL::Tag_false indicates that only points are to be inserted in the upper levels of the hierarchy. The default value for the second template parameter is CGAL::Tag_false.
The Segment_Delaunay_graph_hierarchy_2<Gt,STag,DS> class derives publicly from the Segment_Delaunay_graph_2<Gt,DS> class. The interface is the same with its base class. In the sequel only additional types and methods defined are documented.
