PolyhedronTraits_3

Required types and member functions for the PolyhedronTraits_3 concept. This geometric traits concept is used in the polyhedral surface data structure CGAL::Polyhedron_3<Traits>. This concept is a subset of the 3d kernel traits and any Cgal kernel model can be used directly as template argument.

Refines

CopyConstructable, Assignable.

Types

PolyhedronTraits_3::Point_3
point type.


PolyhedronTraits_3::Plane_3
plane equation. Even if plane equations are not supported with a particular polyhedral surface this type has to be defined (some dummy type).


PolyhedronTraits_3::Construct_opposite_plane_3
is an unary function object that reverses the plane orientation. Must provide Plane_3 operator()(Plane_3 plane) that returns the reversed plane. Required only if plane equations are supported and the inside_out() method is used to reverse the polyhedral surface orientation.

Creation

PolyhedronTraits_3 traits ( traits2);
copy constructor.

PolyhedronTraits_3& traits = traits2 assignment.

Operations

Construct_opposite_plane_3 traits.construct_opposite_plane_3_object ()
returns an instance of this function object.

Has Models

CGAL::Polyhedron_traits_3<Kernel>
CGAL::Polyhedron_traits_with_normals_3<Kernel>
All models of the CGAL::Kernel concept, e.g., Simple_cartesian<FieldNumberType>.
