PartitionTraits_2 Concept Reference

Definition

The polygon partitioning functions are each parameterized by a traits class that defines the primitives used in the algorithms. Many requirements are common to all traits classes. The concept PartitionTraits_2 defines this common set of requirements.

Types
typedef unspecified_type	Point_2
	The point type on which the partitioning algorithm operates.
typedef unspecified_type	Polygon_2
	The polygon type to be created by the partitioning algorithm.
typedef unspecified_type	Less_xy_2
	Predicate object type that compares Point_2s lexicographically.
typedef unspecified_type	Less_yx_2
	Same as Less_xy_2 with the roles of $x$ and $y$ interchanged.
typedef unspecified_type	Left_turn_2
	Predicate object type that provides bool operator()(Point_2 p,Point_2 q,Point_2 r), which returns true iff r lies to the left of the oriented line through p and q.
typedef unspecified_type	Orientation_2
	Predicate object type that provides CGAL::Orientation operator()(Point_2 p, Point_2 q, Point_2 r) that returns CGAL::LEFT_TURN, if $r$ lies to the left of the oriented line $l$ defined by $p$ and $q$, returns CGAL::RIGHT_TURN if $r$ lies to the right of $l$, and returns CGAL::COLLINEAR if $r$ lies on $l$.
typedef unspecified_type	Compare_y_2
	Predicate object type that provides CGAL::Comparison_result operator()(Point_2 p, Point_2 q) to compare the $y$ values of two points.
typedef unspecified_type	Compare_x_2
	The same as Compare_y_2, except that $x$ coordinates are compared instead of $y$.

Creation
A copy constructor and default constructor are required.

	PartitionTraits_2 (PartitionTraits_2 tr)

Compare_y_2

typedef unspecified_type PartitionTraits_2::Compare_y_2

Predicate object type that provides CGAL::Comparison_result operator()(Point_2 p, Point_2 q) to compare the $y$ values of two points.

The operator must return CGAL::SMALLER if $p_y < q_y$, CGAL::LARGER if $p_y > q_y$ and CGAL::EQUAL if $p_y = q_y$.

Less_xy_2

typedef unspecified_type PartitionTraits_2::Less_xy_2

Predicate object type that compares Point_2s lexicographically.

Must provide bool operator()(Point_2 p, Point_2 q) where true is returned iff $p <_{xy} q$. We have $p<_{xy}q$, iff $p_x < q_x$ or $p_x = q_x$ and $p_y < q_y$, where $p_x$ and $p_y$ denote the $x$ and $y$ coordinates of point $p$, respectively.

Polygon_2

typedef unspecified_type PartitionTraits_2::Polygon_2

The polygon type to be created by the partitioning algorithm.

For testing the validity postcondition of the partition, this type should provide a nested type Vertex_const_iterator that is the type of the iterator over the polygon vertices and member functions Vertex_const_iterator vertices_begin() and Vertex_const_iterator vertices_end().
