Definition

template<typename Traits, typename TDS, typename SLDS>
class CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >

The class Triangulation_3 represents a 3-dimensional tetrahedralization of points.

Template Parameters

Traits	is the geometric traits class and must be a model of `TriangulationTraits_3`.
TDS	is the triangulation data structure and must be a model of `TriangulationDataStructure_3`. `Default` may be used, with default type `Triangulation_data_structure_3<Triangulation_vertex_base_3<Traits>, Triangulation_cell_base_3<Traits> >`. Any custom type can be used instead of `Triangulation_vertex_base_3` and `Triangulation_cell_base_3`, provided that they are models of the concepts `TriangulationVertexBase_3` and `TriangulationCellBase_3`, respectively.
SLDS	is an optional parameter to specify the type of the spatial lock data structure. It must be a model of the `SurjectiveLockDataStructure` concept, with `Object` being a `Point` (as defined below). It is only used if the triangulation data structure used is concurrency-safe (i.e. when `TriangulationDataStructure_3::Concurrency_tag` is `Parallel_tag`). The default value is `Spatial_lock_grid_3<Tag_priority_blocking>` if the triangulation data structure is concurrency-safe, and `void` otherwise. In order to use concurrent operations, the user must provide a reference to a SLDS instance via the constructor or `Triangulation_3::set_lock_data_structure`.

Traversal of the Triangulation

The triangulation class provides several iterators and circulators that allow one to traverse it (completely or partially).

Examples: Triangulation_3/for_loop.cpp, Triangulation_3/simple_triangulation_3.cpp, and Triangulation_3/simplex.cpp.

Public Types
enum	Locate_type { VERTEX =0, EDGE, FACET, CELL, OUTSIDE_CONVEX_HULL, OUTSIDE_AFFINE_HULL }
	The enum `Locate_type` is defined by `Triangulation_3` to specify which case occurs when locating a point in the triangulation. More...

Types
The class `Triangulation_3` defines the following types:
typedef Traits	Geom_traits

typedef TDS	Triangulation_data_structure

typedef SLDS	Lock_data_structure

typedef Triangulation_data_structure::Vertex::Point	Point

typedef Geom_traits::Segment_3	Segment

typedef Geom_traits::Triangle_3	Triangle

typedef Geom_traits::Tetrahedron_3	Tetrahedron

Only vertices (0-faces) and cells (3-faces) are stored. Edges (1-faces) and facets (2-faces) are not explicitly represented and thus there are no corresponding classes (see Section Representation).
typedef Triangulation_data_structure::Vertex	Vertex

typedef Triangulation_data_structure::Cell	Cell

typedef Triangulation_data_structure::Facet	Facet

typedef Triangulation_data_structure::Edge	Edge

typedef Triangulation_data_structure::Concurrency_tag	Concurrency_tag
	Concurrency tag (from the TDS). More...

The vertices and faces of the triangulations are accessed through `handles`, `iterators` and `circulators`. A handle is a model of the `Handle` concept, and supports the two dereference operators and `operator->`. A circulator is a model of the concept `Circulator`. Iterators and circulators are bidirectional and non-mutable. The edges and facets of the triangulation can also be visited through iterators and circulators which are bidirectional and non-mutable. Iterators and circulators are convertible to the corresponding handles, thus the user can pass them directly as arguments to the functions. The handles are also model of the concepts `LessThanComparable` and `Hashable`, that is they can be used as keys in containers such as `std::map` and `boost::unordered_map`.

Point Location
The class `Triangulation_3` provides two functions to locate a given point with respect to a triangulation. It provides also functions to test if a given point is inside a finite face or not. Note that the class `Delaunay_triangulation_3` also provides a `nearest_vertex()` function.

Flips
Two kinds of flips exist for a three-dimensional triangulation. They are reciprocal. To be flipped, an edge must be incident to three tetrahedra. During the flip, these three tetrahedra disappear and two tetrahedra appear. fig__Triangulation3figflips (left) shows the edge that is flipped as bold dashed, and one of its three incident facets is shaded. On the right, the facet shared by the two new tetrahedra is shaded. Flips are possible only under the following conditions: - the edge or facet to be flipped is not on the boundary of the convex hull of the triangulation - the five points involved are in convex position. fig__Triangulation3figflips Flips The following methods guarantee the validity of the resulting 3D triangulation. Flips for a 2d triangulation are not implemented yet.

CGAL provides an interface to Geomview for a 3D-triangulation, see Chapter Chapter_Geomview on `Geomview_stream`. #include <CGAL/IO/Triangulation_geomview_ostream_3.h> The information in the `iostream` is: the dimension, the number of finite vertices, the non-combinatorial information about vertices (point, etc; note that the infinite vertex is numbered 0), the number of cells, the indices of the vertices of each cell, plus the non-combinatorial information about each cell, then the indices of the neighbors of each cell, where the index corresponds to the preceding list of cells. When dimension \( <\) 3, the same information is stored for faces of maximal dimension instead of cells.

◆ inexact_locate()

Cell_handle CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::inexact_locate	(	const Point &	query,
		Cell_handle	start = `Cell_handle()`
	)		const

Same as locate() but uses inexact predicates.

This function returns a handle on a cell that is a good approximation of the exact location of query, while being faster. Note that it may return a handle on a cell whose interior does not contain query. When the triangulation has dimension smaller than 3, start is returned.

Note that this function is available only if the cartesian coordinates of query are accessible with functions x(), y() and z().

◆ infinite_cell()

template<typename Traits , typename TDS , typename SLDS >

Vertex_handle CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::insert	(	const Point &	p,
		Cell_handle	start = `Cell_handle()`
	)

Inserts the point p in the triangulation and returns the corresponding vertex.

If point p coincides with an already existing vertex, this vertex is returned and the triangulation remains unchanged.

If point p lies in the convex hull of the points, it is added naturally: if it lies inside a cell, the cell is split into four cells, if it lies on a facet, the two incident cells are split into three cells, if it lies on an edge, all the cells incident to this edge are split into two cells.

If point p is strictly outside the convex hull but in the affine hull, p is linked to all visible points on the convex hull to form the new triangulation. See Figure Triangulation3figinsert_outside_convex_hull.

If point p is outside the affine hull of the points, p is linked to all the points, and the dimension of the triangulation is incremented. All the points now belong to the boundary of the convex hull, so, the infinite vertex is linked to all the points to triangulate the new infinite face. See Figure Triangulation3figinsert_outside_affine_hull. The optional argument start is used as a starting place for the search.

		PointWithInfoInputIterator	last
	)

Inserts the points in the iterator range [first,last) in the given order, and returns the number of inserted points.

Given a pair (p,i), the vertex v storing p also stores i, that is v.point() == p and v.info() == i. If several pairs have the same point, only one vertex is created, and one of the objects of type Vertex::Info will be stored in the vertex.

Precondition: Vertex must be model of the concept TriangulationVertexBaseWithInfo_3.

		CellIt	cell_begin,
		CellIt	cell_end,
		Cell_handle	begin,
		int	i
	)

Creates a new vertex by starring a hole.

It takes an iterator range [cell_begin,cell_end) of Cell_handles which specifies a hole: a set of connected cells (resp. facets in dimension 2) which is star-shaped wrt p. (begin, i) is a facet (resp. an edge) on the boundary of the hole, that is, begin belongs to the set of cells (resp. facets) previously described, and begin->neighbor(i) does not. Then this function deletes all the cells (resp. facets) describing the hole, creates a new vertex v, and for each facet (resp. edge) on the boundary of the hole, creates a new cell (resp. facet) with v as vertex. Then v->set_point(p) is called and v is returned.

This operation is equivalent to calling tds().insert_in_hole(cell_begin, cell_end, begin, i); v->set_point(p).

Precondition: t.dimension() \( \geq2\), the set of cells (resp. facets in dimension 2) is connected, its boundary is connected, and p lies inside the hole, which is star-shaped wrt p.

◆ is_valid() [1/2]

template<typename Traits , typename TDS , typename SLDS >

bool CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::is_valid ( bool verbose = false ) const

template<typename Traits , typename TDS , typename SLDS >

bool CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::is_valid	(	Cell_handle	c,

	)		const

This is a function for debugging purpose.

Debugging Support

Checks the combinatorial validity of the cell by calling the is_valid method of the cell class. Also checks the geometric validity of c, if c is finite. (See Section Representation.)

When verbose is set to true, messages are printed to give a precise indication of the kind of invalidity encountered.

◆ is_vertex() [1/2]

Tests whether p is a vertex of t by locating p in the triangulation.

If p is found, the associated vertex v is given.

		Cell_handle	start = `Cell_handle()`,
		bool *	could_lock_zone = `nullptr`
	)		const

If the point query lies inside the convex hull of the points, the cell that contains the query in its interior is returned.

If query lies on a facet, an edge or on a vertex, one of the cells having query on its boundary is returned.

If the point query lies outside the convex hull of the points, an infinite cell with vertices \( \{ p, q, r, \infty\}\) is returned such that the tetrahedron \( ( p, q, r, query )\) is positively oriented (the rest of the triangulation lies on the other side of facet \( ( p, q, r )\)).

Note that locate works even in degenerate dimensions: in dimension 2 (resp. 1, 0) the Cell_handle returned is the one that represents the facet (resp. edge, vertex) containing the query point.

The optional argument start is used as a starting place for the search.

The optional argument could_lock_zone is used by the concurrency-safe version of the triangulation. When the pointer is not null, the locate will try to lock all the cells along the walk. If it succeeds, *could_lock_zone is true, otherwise it is false. In any case, the locked cells are not unlocked by locate, leaving this choice to the user.

◆ locate() [2/4]

template<typename Traits , typename TDS , typename SLDS >

		Locate_type &	lt,
		int &	li,
		int &	lj,
		Cell_handle	start = `Cell_handle()`,
		bool *	could_lock_zone = `nullptr`
	)		const

If query lies inside the affine hull of the points, the \( k\)-face (finite or infinite) that contains query in its interior is returned, by means of the cell returned together with lt, which is set to the locate type of the query (VERTEX, EDGE, FACET, CELL, or OUTSIDE_CONVEX_HULL if the cell is infinite and query lies strictly in it) and two indices li and lj that specify the \( k\)-face of the cell containing query.

If the \( k\)-face is a cell, li and lj have no meaning; if it is a facet (resp. vertex), li gives the index of the facet (resp. vertex) and lj has no meaning; if it is and edge, li and lj give the indices of its vertices.

If the point query lies outside the affine hull of the points, which can happen in case of degenerate dimensions, lt is set to OUTSIDE_AFFINE_HULL, and the cell returned has no meaning. As a particular case, if there is no finite vertex yet in the triangulation, lt is set to OUTSIDE_AFFINE_HULL and locate returns the default constructed handle.

The optional argument start is used as a starting place for the search.

The optional argument could_lock_zone is used by the concurrency-safe version of the triangulation. When the pointer is not null, the locate will try to lock all the cells along the walk. If it succeeds, *could_lock_zone is true, otherwise it is false. In any case, the locked cells are not unlocked by locate, leaving this choice to the user.

void CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::set_infinite_vertex ( Vertex_handle v )

This is an advanced function.

Advanced

This method is meant to be used only if you have done a low-level operation on the underlying tds that invalidated the infinite vertex. Sets the infinite vertex.

◆ set_lock_data_structure()

template<typename Traits , typename TDS , typename SLDS >

void CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::set_lock_data_structure ( Lock_data_structure * lock_ds ) const

Set the pointer to the lock data structure.

◆ side_of_cell()

template<typename Traits , typename TDS , typename SLDS >

Bounded_side CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::side_of_cell	(	const Point &	p,
		Cell_handle	c,
		Locate_type &	lt,
		int &	li,
		int &	lj
	)		const

Returns a value indicating on which side of the oriented boundary of c the point p lies.

More precisely, it returns:

ON_BOUNDED_SIDE if p is inside the cell. For an infinite cell this means that p lies strictly in the half space limited by its finite facet and not containing any other point of the triangulation.
ON_BOUNDARY if p on the boundary of the cell. For an infinite cell this means that p lies on the finite facet. Then lt together with li and lj give the precise location on the boundary. (See the descriptions of the locate methods.)
ON_UNBOUNDED_SIDE if p lies outside the cell. For an infinite cell this means that p does not satisfy either of the two previous conditions.
Precondition
t.dimension() == 3

◆ side_of_edge() [1/2]

template<typename Traits , typename TDS , typename SLDS >

Bounded_side CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::side_of_edge	(	const Point &	p,
		Cell_handle	c,
		Locate_type &	lt,
		int &	li
	)		const

Same as the previous method for edge \( (c,0,1)\).

◆ side_of_edge() [2/2]

template<typename Traits , typename TDS , typename SLDS >

Bounded_side CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::side_of_edge	(	const Point &	p,
		const Edge &	e,
		Locate_type &	lt,
		int &	li
	)		const

Returns a value indicating on which side of the oriented boundary of e the point p lies:

ON_BOUNDED_SIDE if p is inside the edge. For an infinite edge this means that p lies in the half line defined by the vertex and not containing any other point of the triangulation.
ON_BOUNDARY if p equals one of the vertices, li give the index of the vertex in the cell storing e
ON_UNBOUNDED_SIDE if p lies outside the edge. For an infinite edge this means that p lies on the other half line, which contains the other points of the triangulation.
Precondition
t.dimension() == 1 and p is collinear with the points of the triangulation. e.second == 0 and e.third \( =1\) (in dimension 1 there is only one edge per cell).

◆ side_of_facet() [1/2]

template<typename Traits , typename TDS , typename SLDS >

Bounded_side CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::side_of_facet	(	const Point &	p,
		Cell_handle	c,
		Locate_type &	lt,
		int &	li,
		int &	lj
	)		const

Same as the previous method for the facet (c,3).

◆ side_of_facet() [2/2]

template<typename Traits , typename TDS , typename SLDS >

Bounded_side CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::side_of_facet	(	const Point &	p,
		const Facet &	f,
		Locate_type &	lt,
		int &	li,
		int &	lj
	)		const

Returns a value indicating on which side of the oriented boundary of f the point p lies:

ON_BOUNDED_SIDE if p is inside the facet. For an infinite facet this means that p lies strictly in the half plane limited by its finite edge and not containing any other point of the triangulation .
ON_BOUNDARY if p is on the boundary of the facet. For an infinite facet this means that p lies on the finite edge. lt, li and lj give the precise location of p on the boundary of the facet. li and lj refer to indices in the degenerate cell c representing f.
ON_UNBOUNDED_SIDE if p lies outside the facet. For an infinite facet this means that p does not satisfy either of the two previous conditions.

Precondition: t.dimension() == 2 and p lies in the plane containing the triangulation. f.second \( =3\) (in dimension 2 there is only one facet per cell).

◆ swap()

template<typename Traits , typename TDS , typename SLDS >

void CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::swap ( Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS > & tr )

The triangulations tr and t are swapped.

t.swap(tr) should be preferred to t = tr or to t(tr) if tr is deleted after that. Indeed, there is no copy of cells and vertices, thus this method runs in constant time.

◆ tds() [1/2]

template<typename Traits , typename TDS , typename SLDS >

Triangulation_data_structure& CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::tds ( )

Returns a reference to the triangulation data structure.

Advanced

This method is mainly a help for users implementing their own triangulation algorithms. The responsibility of keeping a valid triangulation belongs to the user when using advanced operations allowing a direct manipulation of the tds.

◆ tds() [2/2]

template<typename Traits , typename TDS , typename SLDS >

const Triangulation_data_structure& CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::tds ( ) const

Returns a const reference to the triangulation data structure.

◆ tetrahedron()

template<typename Traits , typename TDS , typename SLDS >

Tetrahedron CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::tetrahedron ( Cell_handle c ) const

Returns the tetrahedron formed by the four vertices of c.

Precondition: t.dimension() == 3 and the cell is finite.

◆ triangle() [1/2]

template<typename Traits , typename TDS , typename SLDS >

Triangle CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::triangle	(	Cell_handle	c,
		int	i
	)		const

Returns the triangle formed by the three vertices of facet (c,i).

The triangle is oriented so that its normal points to the inside of cell c.

Precondition: t.dimension() \( \geq2\) and \( i \in\{0,1,2,3\}\) in dimension 3, \( i = 3\) in dimension 2, and the facet is finite.

◆ triangle() [2/2]

template<typename Traits , typename TDS , typename SLDS >

Triangle CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::triangle ( const Facet & f ) const

Same as the previous method for facet f.

Precondition: t.dimension() \( \geq2\) and the facet is finite.

◆ try_lock_and_get_incident_cells()

template<typename Traits , typename TDS , typename SLDS >

bool CGAL::Triangulation_3< Traits, TDS, SLDS >::try_lock_and_get_incident_cells	(	Vertex_handle	v,
		std::vector< Cell_handle > &	cells
	)		const

Try to lock and copy the Cell_handles of all cells incident to v into cells.

Returns true in case of success. Otherwise, cells is emptied and the function returns false. In any case, the locked cells are not unlocked by try_lock_and_get_incident_cells(), leaving this choice to the user.

Precondition: t.dimension() == 3, v != Vertex_handle(), t.is_vertex(v).
