Definition

template<typename Kernel>
class CGAL::Point_2< Kernel >

An object p of the class Point_2 is a point in the two-dimensional Euclidean plane \( \E^2\).

Remember that Kernel::RT and Kernel::FT denote a RingNumberType and a FieldNumberType, respectively. For the kernel model Cartesian<NT>, the two types are the same. For the kernel model Homogeneous<NT>, Kernel::RT is equal to NT, and Kernel::FT is equal to Quotient<NT>.

Example

The following declaration creates two points with Cartesian double coordinates.

Point_2< Cartesian<double> > p, q(1.0, 2.0);

The variable p is uninitialized and should first be used on the left hand side of an assignment.

p = q;
 
std::cout << p.x() << " " << p.y() << std::endl;

Is Model Of:

Kernel::Point_2

Hashable if Kernel is a cartesian kernel and if Kernel::FT is Hashable
