An object of the class Circle is a circle in two-dimensional Euclidean plane 2. Its boundary splits the plane into a bounded and an unbounded side. By definition, an empty Circle has no boundary and no bounded side, i.e. its unbounded side equals the whole plane 2. A Circle containing exactly one point p has no bounded side, its boundary is {p}, and its unbounded side equals 2 \ {p}.
Circle::Point | |
Point type.
|
The following type is only needed, if the member function is_valid of Min_circle_2 is used.
Circle::Distance | |
Distance type. The function squared_radius (see below)
returns an object of this type.
|
void | circle.set () | sets circle to the empty circle. |
void | circle.set ( Point p) | sets circle to the circle containing exactly {p}. |
void | circle.set ( Point p, Point q) | sets circle to the circle with diameter equal to the segment connecting p and q. The algorithm guarantees that set is never called with two equal points. |
void | circle.set ( Point p, Point q, Point r) | |
sets circle to the circle through p,q,r. The algorithm guarantees that set is never called with three collinear points. |
bool | circle.has_on_unbounded_side ( Point p) const | |
returns true, iff p lies properly outside of circle. |
Each of the following predicates is only needed, if the corresponding predicate of Min_circle_2 is used.
CGAL::Bounded_side | circle.bounded_side ( Point p) const | |
returns CGAL::ON_BOUNDED_SIDE, CGAL::ON_BOUNDARY, or CGAL::ON_UNBOUNDED_SIDE iff p lies properly inside, on the boundary, or properly outside of circle, resp. | ||
bool | circle.has_on_bounded_side ( Point p) const | |
returns true, iff p lies properly inside circle. | ||
bool | circle.has_on_boundary ( Point p) const | |
returns true, iff p lies on the boundary of circle. | ||
bool | circle.is_empty () const | returns true, iff circle is empty (this implies degeneracy). |
bool | circle.is_degenerate () const | returns true, iff circle is degenerate, i.e. if circle is empty or equal to a single point. |
The following operations are only needed, if the member function is_valid of Min_circle_2 is used.
bool | circle == circle2 const | returns true, iff circle and circle2 are equal. |
Point | circle.center () const | returns the center of circle. |
Distance | circle.squared_radius () const | returns the squared radius of circle. |
The following I/O operator is only needed, if the corresponding I/O operator of Min_circle_2 is used.
std::ostream& | std::ostream& os << circle | writes circle to output stream os. |
