CGAL::ch_bykat
Definition
The function ch_bykat generates the counterclockwise sequence of extreme
points from a given set of input points.
#include <CGAL/ch_bykat.h>

template <class InputIterator, class OutputIterator, class Traits>

OutputIterator
|
|
ch_bykat ( |
InputIterator first,
InputIterator beyond,
OutputIterator result,
Traits ch_traits = Default_traits) |
|
| |
generates the counterclockwise sequence of extreme points
of the points in the range [first,beyond).
The resulting sequence is placed starting at position
result, and the past-the-end iterator for the resulting
sequence is returned. It is not specified at which point the
cyclic sequence of extreme points is cut into a linear sequence.
| Precondition: | The source range [first,beyond) does not contain
result. |
|
The default traits class Default_traits is the kernel in which the
type ForwardIterator::value_type is defined.
Requirements
- InputIterator::value_type and
OutputIterator::value_type
are equivalent to Traits::Point_2.
- Traits defines the following subset of types from
the concept ConvexHullTraits_2 and their corresponding member
functions that return instances of these types:
- Traits::Point_2,
- Traits::Less_signed_distance_to_line_2,
- Traits::Left_turn_2,
- Traits::Less_xy_2,
- Traits::Equal_2.

Implementation
This function implements the non-recursive variation of
Eddy's algorithm [Edd77] described in [Byk78].
This algorithm requires O(n h) time
in the worst case for n input points with h extreme points.
