CGAL::arrange_offset_polygons_2

Definition

The function arrange_offset_polygons_2 arranges the sequence of Polygon_2 objects obtained by create_offset_polygons_2 into Polygon_with_holes_2 objects by determining geometric parent-hole relationships using a simple algorithm based on the particular characteristics of offset polygons. This function should not be used to arrange arbitrary polygons into polygons with holes unless they meet the requirements specified below.

#include <CGAL/arrange_offset_polygons_2.h>

template<class K, class InputPolygonPtrIterator, class OutputPolygonWithHolesPtrIterator>
void
arrange_offset_polygons_2 ( InputPolygonPtrIterator begin,
InputPolygonPtrIterator end,
OutputPolygonWithHolesPtrIterator out,
K k)
determines parent-hole relationships among the polygons given by [begin,end] creating boost::shared_ptr< Polygon_with_holes_2<K> > objects added to the output sequence given out. A CLOCKWISE oriented polygon H is a hole of a COUNTERCLOCKWISE polygon P, iff at least one vertex of H is ON_BOUNDED_SIDE of P.

Requirements

  1. K is any Cgal kernel.
  2. InputPolygonPtrIterator is an input iterator whose value_type is a smart ptr (such as boost::shared_ptr) whose element_type is Polygon_2<K>.
  3. InputPolygonPtrIterator is an output iterator whose value_type is a smart ptr (such as boost::shared_ptr) whose element_type is Polygon_with_holes_2<K>.
  4. The input polygons must be simple.
  5. The set of input polygons are unique and interior disjoint. That is, given distinct polygons P and Q, there are vertices of P which are not on the boundary of Q and are all on the bounded or unbounded side of Q (but not both).
