CGAL 5.5 - 2D Polygon Partitioning
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.

Has Models:
CGAL::Partition_traits_2<R>
CGAL::approx_convex_partition_2()
CGAL::greene_approx_convex_partition_2()
CGAL::optimal_convex_partition_2()
CGAL::y_monotone_partition_2()

## 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. More...

typedef unspecified_type Less_xy_2
Predicate object type that compares Point_2s lexicographically. More...

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::Comparision_result operator()(Point_2 p, Point_2 q) to compare the $$y$$ values of two points. More...

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 (PartitionTraits_2 tr)

## Operations

The following functions that create instances of the above predicate object types must exist.

Less_yx_2 less_yx_2_object () const

Less_xy_2 less_xy_2_object () const

Left_turn_2 left_turn_2_object () const

Orientation_2 orientation_2_object () const

Compare_y_2 compare_y_2_object () const

Compare_x_2 compare_x_2_object () const

## ◆ Compare_y_2

Predicate object type that provides CGAL::Comparision_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

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

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().
