CGAL::Envelope_diagram_2<EnvTraits>

Definition

The class-template Envelope_diagram_2<EnvTraits> represents the minimization diagram that corresponds to the lower envelope of a set of curves, or the maximization diagram that corresponds to their upper envelope. It is parameterized by a traits class that must be a model of the EnvelopeTraits_3 concept, and is basically a planar arrangement of x-monotone curves, as defined by this traits class. These x-monotone curves are the projections of boundary curves of xy-monotone surfaces, or the intersection curves between such surfaces, onto the xy-plane. Thus, it is possible to traverse the envelope diagram using the methods inherited from the Arrangement_2 class.

The envelope diagram extends the arrangement features (namely the vertices, halfedges, and faces), such that each feature stores a container of originators - namely, the xy-monotone surfaces (instances of the type EnvTraits::Xy_monotone_surface_3) that induce the lower envelope (or the upper envelope, in case of a maximization diagram) over this feature. The envelope diagram provides access methods to these originators.

copy constructor.


Envelope_diagram_2<EnvTraits> diag ( EnvTraits *traits);
constructs an empty diagram that uses the given traits instance for performing the geometric predicates.
