This package consits of functions that compute the lower (or upper) envelope of a set of arbitrary surfaces in 3D. The output is represented as an 2D envelope diagram, namely a planar subdivision such that the identity of the surfaces that induce the envelope over each diagram cell is unique.

Function Documentation

lower_envelope_3()

template<class InputIterator , class Traits >

void CGAL::lower_envelope_3	(	InputIterator	begin,
		InputIterator	end,
		Envelope_diagram_2< Traits > &	diag
	)

#include <CGAL/envelope_3.h>

Computes the lower envelope of a set of surfaces in \( \mathbb{R}^3\), as given by the range [begin, end). The lower envelope is represented using the output minimization diagram diag.

Template Parameters

Traits

must be a model of EnvelopeTraits_3. InputIterator must be an input iterator with value type Traits::Surface_3.

Examples

Envelope_3/envelope_planes.cpp, Envelope_3/envelope_spheres.cpp, and Envelope_3/envelope_triangles.cpp.

lower_envelope_xy_monotone_3()

template<class InputIterator , class Traits >

void CGAL::lower_envelope_xy_monotone_3	(	InputIterator	begin,
		InputIterator	end,
		Envelope_diagram_2< Traits > &	diag
	)

#include <CGAL/envelope_3.h>

Computes the lower envelope of a set of \( xy\)-monotone surfaces in \( \mathbb{R}^3\), as given by the range [begin, end). The lower envelope is represented using the output minimization diagram diag.

Template Parameters

Traits

must be a model of EnvelopeTraits_3. InputIterator must be an input iterator with value type Traits::Xy_monotone_surface_3.

upper_envelope_3()

template<class InputIterator , class Traits >

void CGAL::upper_envelope_3	(	InputIterator	begin,
		InputIterator	end,
		Envelope_diagram_2< Traits > &	diag
	)

#include <CGAL/envelope_3.h>

Computes the upper envelope of a set of surfaces in \( \mathbb{R}^3\), as given by the range [begin, end). The upper envelope is represented using the output maximization diagram diag.

Template Parameters

Traits

must be a model of EnvelopeTraits_3. InputIterator must be an input iterator with value type Traits::Surface_3.

Examples

Envelope_3/envelope_planes.cpp, and Envelope_3/envelope_triangles.cpp.

upper_envelope_xy_monotone_3()

template<class InputIterator , class Traits >

void CGAL::upper_envelope_xy_monotone_3	(	InputIterator	begin,
		InputIterator	end,
		Envelope_diagram_2< Traits > &	diag
	)

#include <CGAL/envelope_3.h>

Computes the upper envelope of a set of \( xy\)-monotone surfaces in \( \mathbb{R}^3\), as given by the range [begin, end). The lower envelope is represented using the output maximization diagram diag.

Template Parameters

Traits

must be a model of EnvelopeTraits_3. InputIterator must be an input iterator with value type Traits::Xy_monotone_surface_3.
