Creation

 Periodic_3_Delaunay_triangulation_3 (const Iso_cuboid &domain=Iso_cuboid(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1), const Geom_traits &traits=Geom_traits())
 Creates an empty periodic Delaunay triangulation dt, with domain as original domain and possibly specifying a traits class traits. More...

 Periodic_3_Delaunay_triangulation_3 (InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Iso_cuboid &domain=Iso_cuboid(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1), const Geom_traits &traits=Geom_traits())
 Equivalent to constructing an empty triangulation with the optional domain and traits class arguments and calling insert(first,last). More...
 

Insertion

The following methods insert points in the triangulation ensuring the empty sphere property of Delaunay triangulations.

The inserted points need to lie in the original domain (see Section The Flat Torus of the user manual). In the degenerate case when there are co-spherical points, the Delaunay triangulation is known not to be uniquely defined. In this case, CGAL chooses a particular Delaunay triangulation using a symbolic perturbation scheme [2]. Note that insertion of a new point can cause a switch from computing in the 27-sheeted covering space to computing in the 1-sheeted covering space, which invalidates some Vertex_handles and Cell_handles.

Vertex_handle insert (const Point &p, Cell_handle start=Cell_handle())
 Inserts point p in the triangulation and returns the corresponding vertex. More...
 
Vertex_handle insert (const Point &p, Locate_type lt, Cell_handle loc, int li, int lj)
 Inserts point p in the triangulation and returns the corresponding vertex. More...
 

The following method allows one to insert several points.

It returns the number of inserted points.

template<class InputIterator >
std::ptrdiff_t insert (InputIterator first, InputIterator last, bool is_large_point_set=false)
 Inserts the points in the iterator range \( \left[\right.\)first, last \( \left.\right)\). More...
 

Point moving

Vertex_handle move_point (Vertex_handle v, const Point &p)
 Moves the point stored in v to p, while preserving the Delaunay property. More...
 

Removal

When a vertex v is removed from a triangulation, all the cells incident to v must be removed, and the polyhedral region consisting of all the tetrahedra that are incident to v must be re-triangulated.

So, the problem reduces to triangulating a polyhedral region, while preserving its boundary, or to compute a constrained triangulation. This is known to be sometimes impossible: the Schönhardt polyhedron cannot be triangulated [4].

However, when dealing with Delaunay triangulations, the case of such polyhedra that cannot be re-triangulated cannot happen, so CGAL proposes a vertex removal.

void remove (Vertex_handle v)
 Removes the vertex v from the triangulation. More...
 
template<class InputIterator >
std::ptrdiff_t remove (InputIterator first, InputIterator beyond)
 Removes the vertices specified by the iterator range (first, beyond) of value type Vertex_handle. More...
 

Queries

Bounded_side side_of_sphere (Cell_handle c, const Point &p, const Offset &off=Offset(0, 0, 0)) const
 Returns a value indicating on which side of the circumscribed sphere of c the point-offset pair (p,off) lies. More...
 
Vertex_handle nearest_vertex (Point p, Cell_handle c=Cell_handle())
 Returns any nearest vertex to the point p, or the default constructed handle if the triangulation is empty. More...
 
Vertex_handle nearest_vertex_in_cell (Cell_handle c, Point p, Offset off=Offset(0, 0, 0)) const
 Returns the vertex of the cell c that is nearest to the point-offset pair (p,off). More...
 

A point-offset pair (p,off) is said to be in conflict with a cell c iff dt.side_of_sphere(c, p, off) returns ON_BOUNDED_SIDE.

The set of cells that are in conflict with (p,off) is star-shaped.

template<class OutputIterator >
OutputIterator vertices_in_conflict (Point p, Cell_handle c, OutputIterator res)
 Similar to find_conflicts(), but reports the vertices which are on the boundary of the conflict hole of p, in the output iterator res. More...
 

A face (cell, facet or edge) is said to be a Gabriel face iff its smallest circumscribing sphere do not enclose any vertex of the triangulation.

Any Gabriel face belongs to the Delaunay triangulation, but the reciprocal is not true. The following member functions test the Gabriel property of Delaunay faces.

bool is_Gabriel (Cell_handle c, int i)
 
bool is_Gabriel (Cell_handle c, int i, int j)
 
bool is_Gabriel (const Facet &f)
 
bool is_Gabriel (const Edge &e)
 

Voronoi diagram

CGAL offers several functions to display the Voronoi diagram of a set of points in 3D.

Note that a traits class providing exact constructions should be used in order to guarantee the computation of the Voronoi diagram (as opposed to computing the triangulation only, which requires only exact predicates).

Point dual (Cell_handle c) const
 Returns the representative of the circumcenter of the four vertices of c that lies in the original domain domain. More...
 
Periodic_segment dual (Facet f) const
 Returns the dual of facet f, which is a periodic segment. More...
 
Periodic_segment dual (Cell_handle c, int i) const
 same as the previous method for facet (c,i). More...
 
template<class OutputIterator >
OutputIterator dual (Edge e, OutputIterator pts) const
 Returns in the output iterator the points of the dual polygon of edge e in the same order as the Facet_circulator returns facets incident to the edge e. More...
 
template<class OutputIterator >
OutputIterator dual (Cell_handle c, int i, int j, OutputIterator pts) const
 same as the previous method for edge (c,i,j). More...
 
template<class OutputIterator >
OutputIterator dual (Vertex_handle v, OutputIterator pts) const
 Returns in the output iterator the points of the dual polyhedron of vertex v in no particular order. More...
 
template<class Stream >
Stream & draw_dual (Stream &os)
 Sends the set of duals to all the facets of dt into os. More...

 Returns the volume of the Voronoi cell dual to v. More...
 
Point dual_centroid (Vertex_handle v) const
 Returns the centroid of the Voronoi cell dual to v. More...
 

Checking

These methods are mainly a debugging help for the users of advanced features.

bool is_valid (bool verbose=false) const
 Checks the combinatorial validity of the triangulation and the validity of its geometric embedding (see Section Representation). More...
 
bool is_valid (Cell_handle c, bool verbose=false) const

OutputIterator  pts 
) const

Returns in the output iterator the points of the dual polygon of edge e in the same order as the Facet_circulator returns facets incident to the edge e.

The points form the dual polygon in \( \mathbb R^3\), so they do not necessarily all lie inside the original domain.

OutputIterator CGAL::Periodic_3_Delaunay_triangulation_3< PT, TDS >::dual ( Cell_handle  c,
int  i,

OutputIterator CGAL::Periodic_3_Delaunay_triangulation_3< PT, TDS >::dual ( Vertex_handle  v,
OutputIterator  pts 
) const

Returns in the output iterator the points of the dual polyhedron of vertex v in no particular order.

Cell_handle  c,
OutputIteratorBoundaryFacets  bfit,
OutputIteratorCells  cit,
OutputIteratorInternalFacets  ifit 
)

Computes the conflict hole induced by p.

The starting cell c must be in conflict. Then this function returns respectively in the output iterators:

  • cit: the cells in conflict.
  • bfit: the facets on the boundary, that is, the facets (t, i) where the cell t is in conflict, but t->neighbor(i) is not.
  • ifit: the facets inside the hole, that is, delimiting two cells in conflict.

Returns the pair composed of the resulting output iterators.

Precondition
c is in conflict with p and p lies in the original domain domain.
template<typename PT , typename TDS >
Vertex_handle CGAL::Periodic_3_Delaunay_triangulation_3< PT, TDS >::insert ( const Point p,
Cell_handle  start = Cell_handle() 
)

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

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

Precondition
p lies in the original domain domain.
Examples:
Periodic_3_triangulation_3/colored_vertices.cpp, Periodic_3_triangulation_3/covering.cpp, Periodic_3_triangulation_3/geometric_access.cpp, and Periodic_3_triangulation_3/periodic_adding_handles.cpp.

Vertex_handle CGAL::Periodic_3_Delaunay_triangulation_3< PT, TDS >::insert ( const Point p,
Locate_type  lt,
Cell_handle  loc,
int  li,
int  lj 
)

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

Similar to the above insert() function, but takes as additional parameter the return values of a previous location query. See description of Periodic_3_triangulation_3::locate().

Precondition
p lies in the original domain domain.
template<typename PT , typename TDS >
template<class InputIterator >
std::ptrdiff_t CGAL::Periodic_3_Delaunay_triangulation_3< PT, TDS >::insert ( InputIterator  first,
InputIterator  last,
bool  is_large_point_set = false 
)

Inserts the points in the iterator range \( \left[\right.\)first, last \( \left.\right)\).

Returns the number of inserted points. This function uses spatial sorting (cf. chapter Spatial Sorting) and therefore is not guaranteed to insert the points following the order of InputIterator. If the third argument is_large_point_set is set to true a heuristic for optimizing the insertion of large point sets is applied.

Precondition
The value_type of first and last are Points lying inside domain.

template<typename PT , typename TDS >
bool CGAL::Periodic_3_Delaunay_triangulation_3< PT, TDS >::is_valid ( bool  verbose = false) const

Checks the combinatorial validity of the triangulation and the validity of its geometric embedding (see Section Representation).

Also checks that all the circumscribing spheres of cells are empty.

When verbose is set to true, messages describing the first invalidity encountered are printed.

template<typename PT , typename TDS >
bool CGAL::Periodic_3_Delaunay_triangulation_3< PT, TDS >::is_valid ( Cell_handle  c,
bool  verbose = false 
) const

Checks the combinatorial and geometric validity of the cell (see Section Representation).

Also checks that the circumscribing sphere of cells is empty.

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

template<typename PT , typename TDS >
Vertex_handle CGAL::Periodic_3_Delaunay_triangulation_3< PT, TDS >::move_point ( Vertex_handle  v,
const Point p 
)

Moves the point stored in v to p, while preserving the Delaunay property.

This performs an action semantically equivalent to remove(v) followed by insert(p), but is supposedly faster when the point has not moved much. Returns the handle to the new vertex.

Precondition
p lies in the original domain domain.
template<typename PT , typename TDS >
Vertex_handle CGAL::Periodic_3_Delaunay_triangulation_3< PT, TDS >::nearest_vertex ( Point  p,
Cell_handle  c = Cell_handle() 
)

Returns any nearest vertex to the point p, or the default constructed handle if the triangulation is empty.

The optional argument c is a hint specifying where to start the search. It always returns a vertex corresponding to a point inside domain even if computing in a multiply sheeted covering space.

Precondition
c is a cell of dt and p lies in the original domain domain.
template<typename PT , typename TDS >
Vertex_handle CGAL::Periodic_3_Delaunay_triangulation_3< PT, TDS >::nearest_vertex_in_cell ( Cell_handle  c,

Precondition
p lies in the original domain domain.
template<typename PT , typename TDS >
void CGAL::Periodic_3_Delaunay_triangulation_3< PT, TDS >::remove ( Vertex_handle  v)

Removes the vertex v from the triangulation.

When computing in the 27-sheeted covering space it removes all 27 copies of v.

template<typename PT , typename TDS >
template<class InputIterator >
std::ptrdiff_t CGAL::Periodic_3_Delaunay_triangulation_3< PT, TDS >::remove ( InputIterator  first,
InputIterator  beyond 
)

Removes the vertices specified by the iterator range (first, beyond) of value type Vertex_handle.

remove() is called for each element of the range. The number of vertices removed is returned; this number does not account for periodic copies of removed vertices.

Precondition
The iterator must not iterate over several periodic copies of the same vertex, use e.g. the Unique_vertex_iterator.
template<typename PT , typename TDS >
Bounded_side CGAL::Periodic_3_Delaunay_triangulation_3< PT, TDS >::side_of_sphere ( Cell_handle  c,
const Point p,
const Offset off = Offset(0, 0, 0) 
) const

Returns a value indicating on which side of the circumscribed sphere of c the point-offset pair (p,off) lies.

More precisely, it returns:

  • ON_BOUNDED_SIDE if (p,off) is inside the sphere.
  • ON_BOUNDARY if (p,off) on the boundary of the sphere.
  • ON_UNBOUNDED_SIDE if (p,off) lies outside the sphere.
    Precondition
    p lies in the original domain domain.
template<typename PT , typename TDS >
template<class OutputIterator >
OutputIterator CGAL::Periodic_3_Delaunay_triangulation_3< PT, TDS >::vertices_in_conflict ( Point  p,
Cell_handle  c,
OutputIterator  res

Returns the resulting output iterator.

Precondition
c is in conflict with p and p lies in the original domain domain.
