CGAL::General_polygon_2<ArrTraits>

Definition

The class General_polygon_2<ArrTraits> models the concept GeneralPolygon_2. It represents a simple general-polygon. It is parameterized with the type ArrTraits that models the concept ArrangementDirectionalXMonotoneTraits. The latter is a refinment of the concept ArrangementXMonotoneTraits_2. In addition to the requirements of the concept ArrangementXMonotoneTraits_2, a model of the concept ArrangementDirectionalXMonotoneTraits must support the following functions:

Given an x-monotone curve, construct its opposite curve.
Given an x-monotone curve, compare its two endpoints lexigroaphically.

This class supports a few convenient operations in addition to the requirements that the concept GeneralPolygon_2 lists.
