ExtendedKernelTraits_2 is a kernel concept providing extended geometry1. Let K be an instance of the data type ExtendedKernelTraits_2. The central notion of extended geomtry are extended points. An extended point represents either a standard affine point of the Cartesian plane or a non-standard point representing the equivalence class of rays where two rays are equivalent if one is contained in the other.
Let R be an infinimaximal number2, F be the square box with corners NW(-R,R), NE(R,R), SE(R,-R), and SW(-R,-R). Let p be a non-standard point and let r be a ray defining it. If the frame F contains the source point of r then let p(R) be the intersection of r with the frame F, if F does not contain the source of r then p(R) is undefined. For a standard point let p(R) be equal to p if p is contained in the frame F and let p(R) be undefined otherwise. Clearly, for any standard or non-standard point p, p(R) is defined for any sufficiently large R. Let f be any function on standard points, say with k arguments. We call f extensible if for any k points p1, … , pk the function value f(p1(R), … ,pk(R)) is constant for all sufficiently large R. We define this value as f(p1, … ,pk). Predicates like lexicographic order of points, orientation, and incircle tests are extensible.
An extended segment is defined by two extended points such that it is either an affine segment, an affine ray, an affine line, or a segment that is part of the square box. Extended directions extend the affine notion of direction to extended objects.
This extended geometry concept serves two purposes. It offers functionality for changing between standard affine and extended geometry. At the same time it provides extensible geometric primitives on the extended geometric objects.
